Does anyone know of a miracle cleanser that takes permanent marker out of carpet? I've tried Resolve and Bissel Tough Stain Remover. It's lighter, but still there.
In the meantime, I've got to find a new hiding place for the permanent markers. Clearly, Hayden found me out.
As an aside, I do have some posts coming with pictures for those of you who are tired of my wordy blogs lately. I know you're all on pins and needles to see what the fabulous Garietys have been up to. (Besides ruining perfectly good living room carpet.)

Try Windex. It's gotten everything out of carpets that I've tried, except for gum. We found out about it, 'cause they used it at my mom's bookstore. I'm not sure about pen, but I know that it gets more out than carpet cleaner does. Good luck!
I know that WD-40 works for crayon on carpet, but not sure about marker. Good luck!
Oh-man! That little guy is a handful :). I looked online and a bunch of people said to use rubbing alcohol and let it soak in for a half hour - then scrub with a toothbrush and keep wiping with a wet cloth? If worse comes to worse you can always have a carpet installer come out and cut out the stain and replace that little area. They can make it look like it never happened. Good luck and may the force be with you :)
I've never tried it on carpets, but I've used that mechanic's type of hand cleaner - the kind that smells like citrus and has pumice or something abrasive in it - to get permanent marker out of clothing. It worked really well. Good luck!!!
Sharee--
We have Sharpee remover. The Sharpee website recommended Amodex ink stain remover, so we bought some a year or so ago and loved it. Completely took the marker out of our brand new upholstered dining chairs. So go knock on the door of our old house and ask Cole or Amandalyn to dig in our laundry room cupboard. It rocks. They're cool, they won't mind.
