My book of tips says methylated spirits for ballpoint ink. Hairspray is a very good tip but I suspect it has to be the type containing alcohol. > My book of tips says methylated spirits for ballpoint ink.

A *real* carpet cleaner would be careful not to keep spilling ink on his customers' carpets.

(Don't look to Gary, he'll back me up 100%. Don't look to Dr Clean either. FYI, he lives in Florida, so I know he agrees with me.) America is a modern country with so many kinds of ballpoint ink that nothing except French soap works on them all. If I can find out the formula, I can market it as Freedom Soap. >> >> only because of the alcohol content.
