Green felt tip on carpet

skintsaver_2

Hi all does anyone have any idea how to get green felt tip out of a cream carpet, my lovely dd has decided that the carpet was a good place to draw a picture of a face, doesnt really match my decor though :rotfl:
Been told white vinegar mixed with washing powder helps but at the moment i dont have any white vinegar and cannot get any until tomorrow
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Thanks

Might be a good idea to post this on the OS board. They are full of good ideas on there.

Good Luck, hope you sort it out.

Baby wipes can be quite good with felt tips marks.

nail varnish remover is great for removing felt pen

best thing ive found is that magic eraser sponge from JML. Its the only thing ive found that removes felt pen completley leaving no trace (my daughter drew on my new chenille sofa yesterday!)

well my oh said to me just try and scrub it with water and a scrubbing brush thing, i told him to stop being so stupid it wont work but low and behold it washed straight out, thank god for ikea felt pens
I think i will only buy them from now on

Thanks for all advise though, also sassygirl where did you get the jml sponge from please
