I’m dealing with a frustrating ink stain on my carpet and could really use some advice! The stain is fresh, and I’m hoping to prevent it from setting in.

I’ve heard of a few methods like using rubbing alcohol or vinegar, but I’m not sure which works best or if there are better solutions out there.

I’d appreciate any specific steps or products that have worked for you, especially if you’ve dealt with this before.

Any tips on how to avoid damaging the carpet fibers would also be helpful.

Thanks in advance!”

I got ink out of a shirt once so maybe it will work on carpet. Spray with hair spray, rub, blot, rub, blot and repeat.

Depends on what kind of ink. Alcohol based cleanser will work on ball point pen ink. WD 40 works on marker ink.

Amodex. See Patrick Richardson (The Laundry Evangelist).

I got a quarter size ink blob out of my. Carpet years ago by using Spot Shot. I will warn you though…it got lighter and lighter in color but the size of a dinner plate.

I kept at it until it was co.pletely gone.

Magic!!! Mine was from an ink pen.

Can try Windex or the generic version, spray, leave for 5 minutes, blot and repeat if needed. Good luck.

hand sanitizer – put on and blot – repeat – may take multiple times but will work. hairspray but most dont have around the house as much as hand sanitizer

I used to work in the drafting department back in the day. The drafters used milk to remove ink from their clothing.

You can Google it for several different methods to remove ink with milk
