I would not have known this - but believe me - it works!
I was misting some canvases on Friday with - what else - RAVEN - the darkest. . . . and the AC went on and blew the mist all over my ivory carpet!!! I was sick!! I ran for anything that was a cleaner, nothing budged it. I'm working feverishly away at it and the phone rings. I thought it was my sister, so I answer and it's a family friend. She asked what was wrong, I told her, and she said "Oh dear, that's an easy clean up. Do you have "Real Lemon" in your refridgerator?" I told her I did, and she said to pour it on the ink on the carpet. Then to get paper towels and put hand sanitizer on it and rub it into the lemon juice. I was OMG, should I reallY?
Well it's ALL out. Nothing else needed, not even a second round of cleaning it up. It's 100% OUT.
I wish none of you have this disaster, but if it ever happens - Real Lemon, Hand Sanitizer (FYI, I used Purell) I'm a happy person now again! HTH

I never heard of that combination before...how awesome was her timing, and so glad you got it out of the carpeting!
You don't quit playing because you grow old....you grow old because you quit playing.

Yep, she didn't know what "Glimmer Mist" even was - she's an older lady, but obvious a real smart one!! She said "It'll take ink out of anything." WOW!!:-D

I wonder if the combination will take anything out of carpets. My darling son spilled a bottle of gatorade in his room, red one of course, and didn't take the time to clean it up. Nice RED stain right in the middle of his room. I was SOOOO beyond pissed but couldnt' find anything to get it up. I will give this a shot.

If it doesn't - PM me (or post here) and I can always ask that "older family friend" what she'd suggest. Hey, she's amazing. REALLY.
Like after repeated ear infections in our dog? She said "Oh don't use "Oticleanse" - it's expensive and just cleanses the dog's ear. Put Listerine (original, not mint!) into her ear. It's an antibacterial agent." I thought and then dismissed it, and next ear infection, I said "OK, how do I do this?" She says "Pour some on a cotton ball and squeeze it in, bend down the ear flap and scrub a few seconds. She'll shake the infection loose, and then the Listerine will cure it." Well it DID. So now I clean both the cats and our dog's ears with it with their baths, never had another infection - it's been about 8 years.

fantastic.
Now, have a tip for using glimmer mist that I use. I have a box from ACOT that I taped up the flaps to make the box deeper. As this box is 12 x 12 +, it is perfect for placing my project in the box to spray with glimmer mist. The sides are deep enough that it also helps me to keep the mist at a good distance from the project.

What? You don't use ivory carpeting? Silly you. 
But that's really a good second choice, ha ha!! I'll remember that for my misting!
Actually, these were two 16x20 canvases. I'm painting my brother's bike on it for his birthday - front half of bike on one half, second half on the other. I wanted to subdue the background (the bike is charcoal) before I put in the details, and thought "GLIMMER MIST" - so next time maybe if I keep it at least from under the air vent - it'll be ok.
