How to Clean Ink From Carpet
Spilled ink doesn't necessarily mean curtains for your carpet. Watch stains disappear with this simple solution.


Steps:
1. Saturate the ink stain with hair spray.

2. Allow the stain to fully dry.

3. Mix a solution of one part water to one part white vinegar.

4. Pour the solution on the stain.

5. Brush the area lightly with a medium-bristle brush, preferably a toothbrush.

6. Continue brushing until the stain is gone.

7. Blot the area with a dry, white cloth.

8. Flood the area with water.

9. Blot again.

10. Allow to dry.


Tips:
Always test the cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous part of the carpet before using on a large area.

Brush from the outer edges of the stain inward to prevent the stain from spreading.

Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to prevent any dyes from coming off on the carpet.


Tips from eHow Users:
Clean freshly spilled ink from carpet by Donna C.
To clean freshly spilled ink from your carpet, immediately drench the affected area with milk. Milk neutralizes the ink so that it won't bleed into the carpet. Use a damp white cloth or sponge to clean up the fluids. If needed, you may use a bristle brush. Let everything dry then clean the area with a carpet cleaning solution.
