I thought Wow, What can it hurt and at midnight tonight I am happy to say my 3 and 5 year olds (who got Dads Sharpie markers and colored the nice beige carpet in their bedroom) are going to see their next birthdays.HA! HA! I am amazed that this was so fast... I poured it on and rubbed my fingers through the carpet and the stain FINALLY went away, not to mention I sanitized too! Thanks for the tip... I was in tears!

My 4 year old wrote on a 4x3-foot area of rose colored carpet with black Sharpie marker and I nearly went crazy. Tried your suggestion and the marks are all gone! I had to use almost an entire 12-oz. bottle and my shoulders are sore from scrubbing, but whatever works. Thanks!

(I opened the pen and out came a bunch of gooey ink, right onto the new rug.) The stain was huge, about three inches either way and deep into the rug. It took awhile, but I poured rubbing alcohol on it, and then applied a terrycloth rag and applied pressure. I did that about a hundred times. Even when the stain seemed to be gone, more ink came up on the terrycloth rag. Note - you need SEVERAL terrycloth rags. I had cut up 3 or 4 old towels for this purpose. One thing a carpet cleaning company will tell you - the quicker you work on the stain, the more promising the results. Good luck!

Thank You, Bertie Answers: RE: Permanent Marker Stain on Carpet There is a product called FOLEX. It is in a white spray bottle with maroonish/purple letters. The bottle states it can remove permanent marker. It is worth a try before replacing the spot. I have used it for other stains successfully. You can purchase this at Wal-mart and Home Depot by your carpet cleaner items. Good luck.

I'm thinking of cutting out the area and replacing it with a new piece so I'm looking for tips to do it right the first time. The stain is right when you walk through the doorway so it's not possible to cover it up. We are also selling this house and I want it to look nice. Thanks for any advice! Mik from WI Answers: RE: Permanent Marker Stain on Carpet It happened to me. We had just laid the carpet and my 2year old nephew colored me a beautiful picture with a black sharpie on my white carpet. We used something called Spot Shot its in a blue can and has orange writing on it. It came from walley world. You couldn't tell the marker was there.

I went on crayola.com into their stain site and it reccomends rubbing alcohol, then another cleaner if needed. I'll try you idea and respond back some time. I'm wondering if I use too many different cleaners, if they'll be affected and not work as good. Guess I'll find out! (09/21/2006) RE: Permanent Marker Stain on Carpet If you can't do it "right" (with a perfectly matched piece, etc.), then intentionally do it different. If it's right in front of the door, go to a local home depot or lowes and purchase just enough ceramic or hardwood tile to do a 3' section in front of the door. It will look itentional. If it is an internal room doorway (bedroom), there's nothing wrong with using nice floor mats (oriental looking rugs you could find at TJ Maxx) in "high traffic" areas. Nobody will think anything of it. (09/21/2006) By CarlaJS Report Spam or Abuse
