a few questions about blue ink

[JJ]

• is it horrible if a child drinks some

- how do you get it off of carpet - how do you get it out of clothes

Thanks in advance.

(1) Yuck!
(2) You don't. How long had I been in my new house, essbee, before the INK INCIDENT??? Lots of elbow grease might shift it. Water doe make it spread a long way though but if you wet it and press paper towel into it, it kind of pulls it out of the carpet.
(3) Um... ink removing Stain Devil?

(1) do you think I'm in for blue poop? I should warn his babysitter
(2) oh well, the carpet was ruined anyway
(3) where can I order that?

Thanks! My solution has been to open a bottle of wine.

Perhaps pour some wine on the carpet too and create a pattern of red and blue splodges. Perhaps Charles Saatchi will buy it

We use chem-dry stain remover (lakeland - £9.99) its excellent for removing all kinds of stains...

Unfortunately it's a light rose and I'm more in need of the drink. But thanks for the thought.

I was hoping someone would mention Lakeland. I need an excuse to make an order...

An update: large amounts of Jurlique Day Cream are effective in getting it off of skin.

Anyone know it that is poisonous or am I in for blue runny poos tomorrow?

argh. I was even watching him -- he has his back turned to me and I missed it.

Did a google for removing ink from carpets:

This for cartridge ink

and this for ballpoint ink.

Thanks HB! I love the bit where it says you don't have to worry about whether it's dried or not. I'll do it tomorrow.

Did it work?
