Question

How do I remove dried computer cartridge ink from carpet?

Community Answer

The shaving cream works best, helped with a light agitating from a soft toothbrush. Leave the foam on for a few minutes for stubborn stains.

How do I remove an ink stain that has been sitting for 3 months?

Community Answer

Get some carpet shampoo and rub it in with a brush or cloth. Let it dry for an hour or so, then hoover it up. You may have to do it multiple times to fully eliminate the stain.

Use the detergent method. Make sure you don't rub the ink in, though.
