Alcohol ink does not come out of carpet. So if you don't want a bright turquoise streak on your tasteful light grey carpet, make sure the lid is on, or the bottle is far enough from the edge of your desk that knocking it over causes only a minor annoyance. That is all.  |

 I assume you tried rubbing alcohol? Soak it perhaps? I've been able to get it out of clothing.

Do you have Oxyclean? It took an entire cup of pink Easter egg dye out of my beige carpet.

That’s awful. I hope one of those remedies works.

The word you are groping for is indelible.
One way to correct, is to remove the affected area and carefully replace with another piece of the same carpet. I always encouraged my customers to use a piece of the remnant of the new carpet as an entry rug. When a spare piece is needed, the area rug has had the same amount of wear and fading as the carpet. You could pull a patch from a closet or under a piece of furniture, but it will stand out like a shiny dime. It would be best to hire a professional to do the repair. They have the right tools and knowledge.

I wonder if blending solution would help, or just give you a larger faded out blue area.

Don sounds like the expert here so I would go with what he said before it spreads to a larger area.

Oh, rats! I hope you have a spare section of carpet, so you can patch it.

I'd have a pro do it, they know what to do.
Good luck.
