Ink stain on carpet

Ink stain on carpet (other materials too)
Ball-point inks are all a bit different in their make up, they containany different number of resins, oils and solvents, so it's unlikely onetip is going to work on them all. We list some recipes and techniques herethat may help entirely or at least reduce the stain somewhat. Here is a listof known treatments.

Using an absorbent cloth

1. Spray hair spray on cloth, dab on area and blot with dry cloth to absorb ink.
2. Soak cloth in Isopropyl rubbing alcohol, dab on area and blot with dry cloth to absorb ink.
3. Soak cloth in spirits of turpentine, dab on area and blot with dry towel to absorb the ink.
4. Same as above using nail polish remover.
5. Same as above using tea tree oil.

Never apply solvents directly to the stained material! Always test an inconspicuous area first.
