Removing
Ink Stains From Carpets
One of the cheapest and most effective cleaners for carpet
ink stains is rubbing alcohol. The 90%
isopropyl alcohol is better but you can
try the 705 if that is what you have in the house. One important factor is to
treat the stain quickly.
Here are few tip for you.
Never rub the stain and that will just spread it. Dab some on a white
cotton cloth and dab the stain.
Never take the rubbing alcohol and pour it directly onto the carpet
straight from the bottle .
Repeat the above dabbing at the stain until you no longer get any ink
transferring to the white cloth.
Always be sure to rinse the carpet stain with water several times in order
to remove the cleaner. If you can not vacuum the water out of the carpet then
use a clean cloth or even absorbent paper towels to dab and extract the
moisture out until most of the water is out.
