Remove Ink Stain From Carpet

Here is what you should do to remove ink from carpet using hairspray.

Remove ink stain from carpet. Again repeat this process until the stain is removed entirely. This is another simple method to remove permanent ink from the carpet as acetone works at dissolving the ink. Rubbing alcohol can help to remove aggressive stains but should be used lightly as the alcohol can break down the carpet glue if it touches the backing. When the ink is gone rinse your carpet with a warm water vinegar solution to prevent damage from the alcohol.

While the carpet is still wet blot the stain using a white towel or cloth. However this method can have a bleaching effect on dark colored carpet. Then rinse it with plain water. Allow the area to dry.

To remove ink from carpet wet a clean cloth with rubbing alcohol and gently blot the stain. Apply enough to cover the stain and allow it to soak down about half an inch. Touching the fiber might further grind in the ink then apply a spot remover or carpet cleaner with foaming action to lift up the ink. Keep blotting for 30 minutes so the alcohol has time to dissolve the ink.

Once the area is stain free dab the area with a towel dipped in lukewarm water. The alcohol will penetrate the stain but it can also go deeper and harm the padding under the carpet if you are not careful. If you have light or white colored carpet hydrogen peroxide can also help to remove ink and toner. Once the alcohol has soaked for a minute take a clean rag and begin blotting more ink from the stain.

Blot and repeat until the stain is gone. The acetone will gradually dissolve the ink and it will be absorbed in the cotton ball. Once you begin to lightly blot the ink stain from the carpet you should start to see the color transfer onto the towel. Simply saturate a cotton ball in acetone and dab it on the stain on the carpet.

Spray the hairspray onto the stained carpet to soften the ink.
