OK, this is going to sound wierd...

• Buy some cheap hair spray
• spray onto the stain
• leave a couple of seconds
• wipe off with a cloth, this should take off the ink
• clean the area the hairspray has been
• let it dry! Don't use the drier for a couple of hours!

As a warning as well, I don't think think that spraying hairspray in a confined area is a good idea so make sure its very well ventilated

(This tip worked for me when a biro pen bust on top of a melamine bookcase and no normal cleaner would touch it)

Hello rsdiscos

I've never personally had this problem but googled biro stains and came up with this website.

Good luck!

I've always used hairspray

With the machine, might be able to get some advice on www.washerhelp.co.uk using hairspray on the drum might help but I wouldn't want to offer any advice that would damage your machine.

Oh and value hairspray is all I use, it's only about 40p
