Ink

I can't believe it is the 11th already!! It seems like we were planning for Christmas for months and then it was over:( The tree is down, the presents have been put away, and the house looks normal again. Except, of course, for the LARGE ink stain right in the middle of NEW family room rug. One highly-adorable, big-eared animal climbed on the desk, grabbed a black pen and then proceeded to chow down on it on the new cream-colored, wall-to-wall, "just paid it off", rug. Not only did she dump about 3 tsp of ink in 2 spots, she dripped it all the way back to the kitchen (those we were able to clean up). We cleaned the mains spots with hairspray (2 cans), industrial carpet cleaner, white vinegar/water, baking soda/water, antibacterial wipes....you name it, we tried it. Which...is probably why it is about 4 shades lighter and still stained. I have strategically placed a footstool over it but I still know it is there. If the animal weren't so frickin' cute, I'd trade her in for a new rug:)
