TTC After a Loss

NTTCALR: ink on hardwood floor

So one of my three lovely dogs (I'm pretty sure I know which one!) decided a purple ink pen looked delicious! When we got home from work yesterday there was a lovely purple stain on our floors. It apparently sat there for HOURS because I couldn't make a dent in the stain. And I made it worse as I tried to clean it!

 I googled some ideas on how to get rid of it. But nothing is working. So I'm about to get a rug to cover that spot up but has anyone else ever found something that works? I know refinishing the spot would work but I'm trying to avoid that for now!

  • Did you try vinegar and water?

  • I tried vinegar and water, magic eraser, and Spray and Wash (LOL...the stuff meant for clothes, I was at my wits end after I made the stain spread with other methods). 

    Now I just have a couple of huge dark splotches surrounded by a light purple ring! The only good thing  I can say is that at least the stain is in a spot that a rug would look good on.

  • imagemamato3boys:
    Not sure if it would work on hardwood, but I know rubbing alcohol works great at getting ink out of fabric.

    I'll give it a try! Thanks!

  • imageMrsErinH:
    I haven't had this problem and this might not work, but I was just thinking have you tried calling Lowe's or Home Depot?  They might have someone who would know how to get the stain out without damaging your wood floor and they might sell the product you need.  GL!

    Oh that's genius! I'll definitely try that!

  • Not sure if you got this out yet. Hairspray also gets ink out of clothes, not sure what it would do to the floor though.
