Pen mark on hoodie, how can I get it off?
I have a pen mark on a gray hoodie, how can I clean it? Do I pretreat the stain by scrubbing Tide into it or do I use Oxiclean or some kind of bleach?

What kind of pen is very important. If it is regular ball-point pen, you're in luck. Get some hairspray, spray it on the ink and blot with a clean paper towel. Repeat spray-blot until the ink stain is gone, then wash.
I've had no luck with getting gel pen stains out, although spot treating with whatever you have (hairspray, then rinse, some Clorox2 or laundry soap) will reduce it somewhat.
Because the hoodie is gray, I don't recommend bleach. Likely that the hoodie will fade more than the ink!

Spray hairspray (with alcohol) on it or use rubbing alcohol. Let sit. Wash, don't dry. Oxyclean works really well, too. Spray and Wash has worked for me, also. Just make sure you don't dry it until you're sure the stain is out.

spray hairspray directly on the stain please note when you spray it put a hankie or any other cloth under the stay and then tap it with another cloth after spraying it because after you spray it ink spreads. and you don't want that to happen.

rubbing alcohol.. it takes out almost if every type of ink... markers.... old dryer cleaner trick ( from my gram)
jst keep soaking it ... it bloth off ( don't rub..u'll spread it) repeat til gone
