Printer cartridges are commonly used at home and at work, but stains caused by a leaking cartridge can be difficult to remove from clothing and carpets. Here are some thoroughly tested means of remove ink stains caused by printer cartridges.

Carpet Stains: The important thing to remember when treating almost any stain is to treat it as fast as possible. If an ink stain is allowed to dry, it will likely be much harder to remove. If there is lots of ink on the carpet, the residue should be scraped away removing ink stains by hand 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 should be gently dabbed with the cloth to dissolve the blemish. The region should always be dabbed, rather than rubbed, as the motion of rubbing will spread further.

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