Ha... My friend just let a black mini sharpie slip into the wash. After the washing machine the clothes looked fine, but it was in the dryer where the marker exploded. It took him about half an hour to clean out the dryer with one of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and about 20 minutes on
each piece of clothing (most of his shirts were in the wash) to get the stains out with a combination of Tide-2-Go, Oxi-Clean Pen, and Shout.
But that's not so bad. When I worked at the Dry Cleaners, each and every pocket needed to be checked because dry cleaning solvent melts plastic, so if a pen slipped in - 20 very expensive pairs of pants ruined.
You can pick up clothing dye at your local Wal-Mart and Target, look in the aisle where the Fabric Softener and detergents are. Or try a local Craft store.
