Printer Cartridges. Tips to remove Printer Cartridges stains on carpets
While many of us have a printer in our homes, these cleaning tips are for cleaning a ground in printer cartridge stain. Use a butter knife or a plastic knife and scrape up as much of the cartridge ink or elements that are in the carpeting. You might not have much to scrape up unless the cartridge has been stepped on but you will need to scrape up as much as possible if it is a large mess. To get the biggest part of this stain out, use a cloth wet with rubbing alcohol and dab at the ink stain. Do not pour the rubbing alcohol on the carpeting as this can damage your carpet backing but dab at the stain with your towel until you are no longer bringing any printer ink out of the carpeting. Clean your carpeting further by using a mixture of one cup of water and a tablespoon of dish liquid. Spray this on the carpeting and blot it up to bring out the moisture. Continue if you are bringing out any of the ink stain on your paper towel. Keep changing over to a clean part of your towel so you will know for sure if you are bringing out the ink. Rinse the carpeting with a clear spray of water and a new clean towel. Bring out all the suds that may be in the carpeting and then let the area dry for about an hour. After the carpeting has dried, if you still see a remnant of the stain spray on peroxide and let it stand for about an hour. Re-spray and blot up. Continue until the stain is gone.
