how do I get blue pen ink stains out of a cream coloured carpet?

Answer 1

1001 , spray it on leave for a minute and scrub.
I use it on my carpet all the time.

Answer 2

NOTE: Some links in each of the following categories -- ballpoint, felt tip, liquid--may be impossible to remove. Laundering may set some types of ink. Try pretreating using one of the following methods:
Prewash Stain Remover:

Pretreat using a prewash stain remover. Launder.
Denatured Alcohol or Cleaning Fluid:

Sponge the area around the stain with the alcohol or cleaning fluid before applying it directly on the stain.
Place stain facedown on clean paper towels. Apply alcohol or cleaning fluid to back of stain. Replace paper towels frequently.
Rinse thoroughly. Launder.
Alternate Method for Denatured Alcohol or Cleaning Fluid:

Place the stain over mouth of a jar or glass; hold fabric taut.
Drip the alcohol or cleaning fluid through the stain so ink will drop into the container as it is being removed.
Rinse thoroughly. Launder.

Answer 3

Blot up (not rub) as much ink as you can from the carpet. Then use some aerosol hairspray (cheaper the better) and spray and blot until the ink is gone. Test a small area that you can see of the carpet first to make sure the hairspray doesn’t take the color out of the carpet as well as the ink. Once all of the ink is gone, then use some water to lift up the residue from the hairspray.

Answer 4

Get a bar of Vanish stain remover as you use the soap blot the carpet with a towel until the stain is lifted

Answer 5

If the carpet is already light (cream) coloured - perhaps careful application of bleach would help on this occasion.
Just a thought.

Answer 6

Alcohol. Rub it into the stain and blot with kitchen roll continue until the stain has gone. If you haven't any of that try nail varnish remover and do the same.
