Red Ink+Carpet
Any ideas on removing red ink from carpeting? It seems while I was at work today, my f'ing Malamute decided to chew apart a red ink pen I had left on the counter. She managed to get two big red ink stains in my carpeting. So far, Simple Green has helped, but not completely removed the stains.
So, any ideas, short of burning the place down (with the dog inside)?

Waterproof eye makeup remover....any of the ones that are dual phase (that you have to shake to activate, Lancome makes one) after the stain is up use Folex carpet cleaner to remove the oil residue.

Re: Red Ink+Carpet
I've always used rubbing alcohol for ink on laundry, but I wet a cloth with it and dab. It dilutes it so don't pour.
Edit: I've never had a red ink stain tho. Hydrogen Peroxide for blood.  I think the composition is the same as regular ink.

Re: Red Ink+Carpet
Try "acetone", thats what we use @ work to remove ink from t-shirts and other stuff.

It lifts the stain, and it dissolves the ink in seconds. After it dries the stain is gone.

Ummmm, Hmmm. Not sure of why you would have blood on your carpet.. Did you take out a tree huging H2 hater? Or did you kill a Yukon?

Everyone who leaves the Hummer family ends up at their place sooner or later. You know that "guest house" in their backyard? It's actually a chamber of horrors reserved for traitors.
