A pen exploded in my backpack a while ago (about 6 years ago) and it is high time I clean it. How can I get the stain to not bleed? I don't actually care about the stain, I just don't want it to rub off on anything.
Complications are the fact that it exploded in the tiny pockets in the front pouch so I can barely fit my fingers in there to scrub it.
So far I have put a lot of laundry stain remover and run it through the the laundry like 10x. Now it doesn't bleed unless I put stain remover on it and let it soak for a few minutes and try rubbing with a paper towel.
Thoughts?
Use alcohol.
Stop bleeding with cotton rags.
Idealy stack several rags below. get wet with alcohol, place more rags on top, set heavy weight on top. Cotton rags will absorb now liquid ink.
Run through washer to get the rest out.

Soak that shut in a ton of rubbing alcohol for awhile and then do what the guy above me said

At tell us what type of pen and ink it was.
This tells me you havent washed a piece of clothing in 6 years. Let the mold fuck it up.

OP here. After soaking/rubbing it with alcohol a few times and running it through the washer twice, I can't get the ink to bleed onto a paper towel at all without using more alcohol so I'm calling it a victory.
Thanks guys.
