Instructions for stain removal.

Getting blue ink out of carpet.

For a carpet that smells as good as it looks add a couple of drops of concentrated lavender water or lemon. Repeat until the stain is removed. If the ink is still wet immediately cover it with salt. Then lightly blot the stain using a white cloth.

Put some alcohol on the corner of a dry cloth and blot out the inky mark. You can combine rubbing alcohol and a bowl of lukewarm water to remove permanent ink stain on the carpet. Allow the salt to sit overnight then vacuum the area. Vacuum first holding the nozzle above the stain.

The salt will absorb the ink. An optional step is to clean the carpet area with a carpet shampoo. Dab the stained area and then rinse with warm soapy water. Moisten the ink stain with either rubbing alcohol or non oily hairspray.

Add the alcohol and let it sit for five minutes. Fill a spray bottle with equal parts of water and distilled white vinegar. Salt works impressively on ink stains on carpet. Fill the iron with water plug it in set it on low medium not too hot you don t want to burn the carpet and place it on top of the towel.

A wet dry vacuum can make this process much quicker and much more effective. Once the area is stain free dab the area with a towel dipped in lukewarm water. Blot the moistened cloth onto the ink stain. Once it has had a chance to soak in vacuum up the alcohol and ink with the wet dry vacuum.

Touching the fiber might further grind in the ink then apply a spot remover or carpet cleaner with foaming action to lift up. If the ink is already dry wet it thoroughly before.

Repeat the procedure several times to remove ink from carpet and leave the blotted mark alone for half an hour.
