I have a linda liel (sorry for the misspelling) white t-shirt that has 2 dark pen marks on it on one sleeve and the other has some black spot. I've tried putting on goo gone, let it soak for 1/2 hour then washed it (I also put some oxy clean in the load) and those stains won't budge
what else should I try?

You can try hairspray, it takes off pen marks

Also, if its a solid white you can bleach. Eventhough the instructions prob say not to nothing will happen from putting a little bleach in the machine. I always wash my white Linda Leal shells with bleach.

GooGone works for sticky things, not for ink.
Shout works like a miracle, try it.

Yes! I just did this today.
Make the clothes very wet with warm water. Spray stains with hairspray. Scrub with a cleaning toothbrush. And when I say scrub, I mean scrub Smile. Until the stain comes out. Then wash in the machine right away, as usual.

It's the alcohol in the hair spray that works. It works magic. good luck, let us know if it worked for you too.
