How To Remove Ink Stains From Carpet
You can remove ink
stains from carpet using rubbing alcohol. It will work better
if it is 90% isopropyl alcohol, but you can try the ones that
are 70% if that's what's available. In either case, carpet ink
stains will come out more easily if you catch them quickly.
First of all, don't
pour rubbing alcohol on your carpet. Apply it to a white cotton
cloth and dab the stain carefully, so you don't spread the ink.
Suck it out after a few minutes using a shop-vac, or, if you
use a cloth, blot carefully. Don't rub! Repeat the process until
you remove the stains from the carpet, or until you get no more
transfer to the cloth. In the latter case it may not be possible
to remove the stain completely, although you can try a commercial
cleaning solvent.
Always Rinse And Extract Carpet Stains
When you remove
ink stains from carpet, or any other stains, using a solvent
other than water, be sure to rinse the area and extract the water.
Again, vacuuming out the water is quicker, and less likely to
damage your carpet, but you can use a clean white cloth to blot
the moisture out also. Rinse, extract, repeat.
Finally, dry the
area quickly. There may still be some ink hiding deep in the
fibers. Quick drying prevents this remaining ink from wicking
up to he surface of the carpet where it can become visible again.
Paper towels work well to get the moisture out, and a fan left
blowing on the area will complete the process.
