Not good ones, but there’s a few things you can try. What kind of fabric and what kind of pen

Yes kinda, what kind of pen was it? I'm an expert at getting stains out. Depends on what materials and other stuff

Just a mix of different clothes so different fabrics but like t shirts and stuff, and I think ballpoint pen

I mean you can definitely still get some of the stains out it would just be a line process probably only would work on colored clothes

It’s annoying cause it got on multiple clothes it’s just like black dots everywhere

Try blotting with rubbing alcohol first, but tbh the only thing that can help you now is maybe a dry cleaners. They have access to much more powerful stain removers than the public

Ah ok I’ll do that if I need to, thankfully a lot of the most ruined ones were just t shirts like I said but a couple tops I liked too 😭 I’ll consider dry cleaners if I can’t get them out. Thanks!
