Ink Pen + Dryer = Big Mess

Over the weekend I was feeling industrious so I decided to do a load of laundry. I did a quick check of pockets but not through enough. When I went to pull the clothes out of the dryer I found more than I expected. There was ink on the clothes and to my horror all over the dryer. I cried. Pablo as always was calm and said he had just the thing to clean up the mess but it would have to wait until Monday evening bc this solution was at work. I still cried. I sprayed the clothes with hairspray, let them soak washed them 3 times but the damage was done. Maybe I could start a new clothes line called "clothes inked." I spent the majority of the day yesterday working on the dryer with alcohol which worked a little getting some but not all of the ink off. When Pablo got home he went to work with the Goof off and it worked better but there is still a faint remnant of the fiasco. Oh well. Life goes on and a lesson has been learned. ALWAYS check pockets THROUGHLY BEFORE doing a load of laundry.
