Printer cartridges are generally used at home and in the office, but stains caused by a leaking cartridge can be difficult to remove from clothing and carpets. Here are a few thoroughly tested methods for remove ink stains caused by printer cartridges.

Carpet Stains: The biggest thing to remember when treating any kind of stain is to address it as soon as possible. If an ink stain is allowed to dry, it will be much harder to remove. If there is plenty of ink on the carpet, the residue should really be scraped away removing ink stains manually before treating the stain. A piece of cardboard or even a plastic ruler is ideal for this. The location should then be treated with rubbing alcohol, if this is available. The alcohol should first be applied to a cloth or towel and the stained area of carpet ought to be gently dabbed with the cloth to dissolve the blemish. The area must always be dabbed, in place of rubbed, as the motion of rubbing will spread further.

If there is no rubbing alcohol available, a mixture of carpet-safe detergent and water could be applied to the area, utilising the same method as described above. Washing up liquid or soap is ideal, because it is unlikely to damage the carpet. The location must be dabbed until no more ink is coming away on the cloth. Then, a clean towel, cloth or paper towel should be used to blot the area dry, continuing with new towels if ink is still coming out of the carpet.
