Printer Ink on Carpet

Folks, I just spilled a whole lot of Majenta ink on my light cream color carpet. I took my wife\\\'s nail polish remover and poured it over the carpet stain in a spray. Then I used lots of paper napkins to dab over the stains. The stain started to come out visibly onto the napkins. I did this process 4 to 5 times and I can hardly see the stain now on my carpet. I ended up finishin up the whole bottle of nail polish remover in the process, but it was worth it. I also washed the stain with shaving cream in the end for a final wash.

This really works. I just dropped a printer cartridge on my brand new tan carpet. It splattered black ink all over a 1 square foot area. I used Cutex Nail Polish Remover and IT WORKED GREAT

Not all printer ink cartridges are water soluble. I could not, in my case get stains out with water and a detergent.

Thank you so much, naveenkg,

you saved our bacon! : we just moved into totally refurbished house, brandnew carpets, etc... have been unpacking our printer... and only just noticed it has leaked black ink! There was a very black stain on our carpet!
Luckily, I happened to have some nailvarnish remover handy... we followed your advice...and it really worked! thank you very very much!!!!!!
we thought we'd lost our deposit there and then, having only moved in this week!
