RE: Removing Ink Stains From Carpet

Printer cartridge(cyan color) leaked two drops over the beige carpet,out of desperation I magnified 2 drops to 8x2 inches by rubbing with wet paper towel.Thanks for the tips here. I used Oxiclean, first dabbed the stained area with Oxiclean mixed with water (1 tea spoon of Oxiclean with 6 or 8 oz of water) just with 4 swipes and my carpet is spotless (dont reuse wiped off paper towel).

Hairspray! Works every time. Soak the stain with hair spray. Blot....do not rub. This has worked hundreds of times with getting ink out of beige carpet to jeans!

I don't know exactly, but there is a product called Incredible and I buy it at my local Kroger grocery store in Houston, Texas USA.

It got eyeliner pencil out of almost white carpeting in a condo I was renting. I sweated that one out, I can tell you.

The only other thing I can think of - and I'd try it in a tiny part of your carpet first - is aerosol hairspray. It gets out ink from clothing I know that. Maybe you have a leftover piece of your carpet from after it was installed and you can test the hairspray on that piece.

I have no more tricks up my sleeve, sorry, but good luck.
