HP Deskjet Ink Cartridge Leakage – Ink Stain Carpet Cleaning Tips

HP Deskjet Ink Cartridge Leakage – Ink Stain Carpet Cleaning Tips There is a lot written about the great printing results of any HP Deskjet ink cartridge . But there is always the chance that you might encounter a leaky ink cartridge or a slip up from your hands and fall where there is not protection on your carpet So what we have are some tips and ideas with items found at most homes. Be ready to say good bye to HP Deskjet ink cartridge stains.

Items (you could use them together or not depending on the type of method you choose): Rubbing Alcohol, Oxi Clean, Dry Cloth, Toothbrush or Medium Brush:


• Tip 1 - Always attack the stain immediately and head on. Make sure you DO NOT rub the rag over the ink spot; this will only push it deeper into the carpet fibers!

• Tip 2 - Make a solution of Oxi clean with Alcohol; I mix about 1/2 scoop Oxi clean with really warm water and a couple tablespoon 91% rubbing alcohol, used a toothbrush for scrubbing and the stain goes away just like magic. Brush from the outer edges of the stain inward to prevent the stain from spreading.

• Tip 3 - Another way out is to use is a mixture of hydrogen peroxide. A solution of 3 percent can be used to get rid of stains on your carpets. After you apply the peroxide, leave it to soak for 1 ½ hours at least. After the wait, get a paper towel or clothe that is wet and use it to daub the ink stain. You can keep repeating the steps until the ink has finally been removed.

• Tip 4 - Finally, dry the area quickly. There may still be some HP deskjet ink hiding deep in the fibers. Quick drying prevents this remaining ink from wicking up to the surface of the carpet where it can become visible again. Paper towels work well to get the moisture out, and a fan left blowing on the area will complete the process.

• Tip 5 – Last tip. Always test the cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous part of the carpet before using on a large area. Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to prevent any dyes from coming off on the carpet.
