face paint-y pen (?? im guessing greasy/crayony? - i havent seen it) on carpet - how to get it out asap

[ruffletheanimal]

friend needs to remove said marks - in black - from carpet before husband sees it.
lets not go into the whys and wherefores of the him seeing it angle please, itrs not my relationship/business nor anyone elses, but suffice to say; she REALLY needs tyo get these marks out

what works???

(worst case we are planning to cut out a metere square area and put in a spare leftover bit...)

Try neat white vinegar; warm it if it doesn't work immediately.Put it on with a cotton cloth.

Always work to the centre of the stain with a clean dry cotton cloth to remove.

Good luck.your friend could praps move the furniture over it if all else fails!
