The problem of an ink stain on carpet on a rug is nearly always from the same source - a dog chews up a ball point pen and creates a mess on the carpet

Ball point ink is extremely concentrated - a little goes a LONG way Simply blotting with a solvent such as Saf-T-Solv™ Dry Volatile Spotter or alcohol will simply make the spot larger and force the ink into the backing and make quite a mess.

Instead, use Pro-Solve Liquid Solvent Spotter and Stain Magic^®.

Procedure to Remove Ball Point Ink from Carpets and Rugs:

• NOTE: Ink Out, previously used to remove ball point ink stains, has been replaced with Pro-Solve Liquid Solvent Spotter which meets the the Clean Air Act requirements.
• 
• Mix equal parts of Stain Magic^®.
• 
• Liberally apply the mixed Stain Magic to the perimeter of the ink stain, but not directly on the stain. This will act as a barrier to reduce spreading of the ink stain, making the stain even worse.
• 
• Apply Pro-Solve Liquid to the area stained with the ink.
• 
• Agitate gently to dissolve the stained area treated with Pro-Solve Liquid using a bone scraper or the Carpet Shark Spotting Tool by Pro’s Choice.
• 
• Apply Stain Magic to the treated stained area. As deposit dissolves, the Stain Magic will remove its color. Alternate applications of Stain Magic and Pro-Solve Liquid as needed.
• 
• Extraction rinse and blot up with a dry, absorbent cloth.
• 
• Stain is gone. As an extra measure to prevent wicking up of any remaining stain, apply Stain Blotter, which the homeowner can vacuum up the next day.
