RE: Black Ink on Gray Carpet By catfifty (11) Contact Goof Off. Unbelievable product. Follow the directions. It is a miracle in a can. Posted on 11/14/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Black Dye on Gray Carpet By corrin5 (1) Profile Contact I tried the hairspray and no luck. I tried alcohol and vinegar and also no luck. The dye is now dry and seems to be very settled into the carpet, anymore tips that I could try? Posted on 01/18/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Black Ink on Gray Carpet By bigbug (1) Profile Blog! Contact Hi! You can pour some Talcum Powder on the stain and rub it a little to get well absorbed, leaving it to be there for few hours. Wash the carpet with any normal detergent. If its still there try it once or twice, stain will go away with no marks remaining.

It didn't harm the carpet in any way but the odor is very strong.

Then you will have white spots as well as the ink spots. Or perhaps even holes. Posted on 12/19/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Black Ink on Gray Carpet By alicehakes (3) Contact Hi. I've had some luck using hairspray on ink. My former house had huge spots on the carpet and every month I would spray with hairspray and blot. then I would clean my carpet.

I once made a really, really big mess with a bottle of black leather dye. I salvaged my marriage..um...I mean my living room, with a bit of nail polish remover. Now, I'd be a wee bit cautious just in case it were to melt the carpet fibers...well, just test it first!

Was it a pigment or dye based ink? Also, was it an alcohol based ink? I'm assuming it was "India" ink because that's what used to be the main kind of ink sold until recently, but then again, it could have been an ink-pad refill too & they come in "dye" & "pigment" & also alcohol based. Printer refill ink is USUALLY alcohol based & if it is, it can be cleaned up with alcohol. You'd spray a bit on, then blot with a clean & dry cloth, then you'd have to repeat that step many times. But, you'd need to know the exact type of ink that was spilt because each different type of ink is usually cleaned differently. Here is some info, BUT If I were you, I'd call a person who cleans carpeting & find out what cleaner I could buy for spot-treatment. Also, Google the web for "Professional Ink Cleaner" HERE'S SEVERAL GOOD ARTICLES ABOUT CLEANING INK FROM CARPETING: http://ezinearticles.com/?Ink-Remov ... rofessional-Carpet-Cleaner&id=636120 http://www.doityourself.com/stry/stains1 http://home.howstuffworks.com/how-t ... amp-pad-ballpoint-pen-ink-stains.htm MORE INFO FROM ANOTHER FORUM: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cleaning/msg101309326480.html Posted on 12/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Black Ink on Gray Carpet By Dibbs (105) Profile Contact http://www.ehow.com/how_10702_clean-ink-carpet.html Spilled ink doesn't necessarily mean curtains for your carpet. Watch stains disappear with this simple solution. Instructions Things Youll Need: Soft Dry Cloth White Vinegar White Vinegar Hair Spray Medium-bristle Toothbrushes Medium-bristle Brush Step 1 Saturate the ink stain with hair spray. Step 2 Allow the stain to fully dry. Step 3 Mix a solution of one part water to one part white vinegar. Step 4 Pour the solution on the stain. Step 5 Brush the area lightly with a medium-bristle brush, preferably a toothbrush. Step 6 Continue brushing until the stain is gone. Step 7 Blot the area with a dry, white cloth. Step 8 Flood the area with water. Step 9 Blot again. Step 10 Allow to dry. Personally, I have used Shout Liquid Laundry Stain Remover on upholstery and carpet stains, but I don't know if it works on ink. Posted on 12/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
