Oops! Spilled Ink on the New Carpet? Here’s What to Do (Without the Boss Finding Out)

Ah, the smell of new, freshly laid carpet in your office... nothing beats the feeling. The boss is riding high, proudly showing it off to anyone who will listen, and maybe even dropping a humblebrag about the great deal he got on it. Life is good.

But then it happens. Someone spills ink on the pristine, just-laid carpet *cue the collective gasp*. The room goes silent, except for the faint sound of the boss’s footsteps approaching. What do you do?

Relax. Take a deep breath. Before you make any rash decisions like scrubbing furiously with bleach (please don’t), let’s go through your options.

How Not to Handle a Carpet Stain

When faced with a fresh ink stain on brand-new carpet, panic sets in and your brain runs wild with potential solutions. Here are a few bad ideas to steer clear of:

1. Scrubbing with Bleach

Bleach might seem like a hero in your moment of need, but it’s more of a villain here. It won’t just tackle the stain, it’ll destroy the carpet fibres and leave an even worse problem. Imagine replacing a tiny ink stain with a giant bleach blotch.

2. Cutting Out the Stain

Unless you’re a master of covert carpet surgery, this one’s a no-go. Cutting out the stain might seem like an easy fix, but if the stain is smack dab in the middle of the room, good luck explaining that random hole to your boss.

3. Confessing to Your Boss

Sure, honesty is the best policy...sometimes. But let’s be real... telling your boss might earn you a death glare that burns right through your annual bonus. And every time someone mentions “carpet,” you’ll feel those judgmental eyes on you.

The Right Way to Handle a Carpet Emergency

When disaster strikes, the best way forward is to call a professional office carpet cleaning service. Here’s why:

1. Expertise in Stain Removal
