Black mascara
« on: October 24, 2004, 09:02:38 pm »
My 2 year old boy and his 16 month old sister today thought it would be a good idea to use their mums mascara to draw
/paint on our bedroom carpet.
This is 80/20 wool and it is cream!
We are talking 2 foot long 2 inch wide solid black marks.
Any ideas ?
ps two kids free to good home,no trouble at all.

Paul,

Memory lane !!  :D

Solutions Eco Spotter was not available when my little angels were perfecting that trick, so citrus gells or Solvol were used.

Mist Eco Spotter and agitate/blot with towel.

Beloeve it or not, I've had big sucess with Penzoil, whereas WD40 would not work on mascara.

Have tried most and are good even the cheaper options but have to say, most leave a pungent odder, in the air that is, have yet to find that with Eco.
