Below are the most common types of materials that can become ink-stained, with steps on how to remove ink from each: Non-washable fibers such as Acetate, Burlap, Carpet/­Synthetic, Carpet/Wool, Fiberglass, Rayon, Silk, Triacetate or Woolrn Washable fibers such as Acrylic Fabric, Cotton, Linen, Modacrylic, Nylon, Olefin, Polyester or Spandexrn Soft surfaces such as Acrylic Plastic, Ceramic, Glass/Tile, Cork, Glass, Plexiglas, Polyurethane, Porcelain Dishes, Porcelain Fixtures, Vinyl Clothing or Vinyl Wallcoverings Methods for Removing Ink Stains from Carpet For carpet ink stain removal, the idea is to work on the stain as soon as possible. One of the best ways to remove ink from carpet, is to rub it with isopropyl alcohol. First soak a small cotton ball or a white clean cotton cloth in the alcohol. Dab the cotton ball on the stain carefully making sure that you do not spread it around the edges of the stain. Blot the stain carefully and don't rub too vigorously. Repeat this process until you have successfully removed the ink stain from the carpet. Dry the area thoroughly with a hair dryer and your carpet stain removal is done. Some ink stains might not be removed completely by this process and in that case you need to proceed to another carpet ink stain removal trick. Combine one teaspoon of household ammonia with half cup of cold water. Pour this solution into a spray bottle and spray it on the stain in the carpet. Make sure that you do not soak the carpet stain with the ammonia solution. Use white paper towels to blot the stain and allow the area to dry completely. This is how to remove ink from carpet without damaging it. Another tried and tested carpet ink stain removal method is to use hairspray on the ink stain. Spray hairspray on the ink stain on the carpet so that the spot is well saturated. Wait 30 minutes before dabbing at the ink stain with a piece of sponge that has been soaked in ice-cold water. Any kind of hairspray works for this method of carpet ink stain removal, but the best are clear strong hold sprays that comes in aerosol bottles. When you are dabbing the spot with the sponge, make sure that you dab it gently and not rub it in, as this will cause the ink stain to go deeper into the carpet fabric. For synthetic fiber carpet with ink stain, the best way to remove the stain would be to apply an oil solvent or carpet cleaning solution with a clean rag and then blot. Whatever solution you use, make sure that it is not too harsh as it might cause the color from the fabric to fade. It is always wise to test a small spot of stain to see how the fabric reacts to the solvent and if it is safe to use it. One of the last effort that you can give for carpet ink stain removal when everything else fails is to use a hydrogen peroxide solution. Apply a bit of hydrogen peroxide solution on the ink stain and dab it with a clean towel.
