High on that list of concerns is air quality. Poor air quality can be caused by a range of factors depending on the kind work being done or the machines being used by the business to the efficiency of the heating and air conditioning systems. While these are likely to be the most significant causes of poor air quality, another cause often goes over looked. That is kind of vacuums the nightly cleaning crews are using.

Ink Ink Pigment is comprised of carbon. Ethyl Alcohol contains a 1 (hydrophilic) molecule that craves water and another that craves organic material. To remove carbon particles, carbon molecules need to bind with a surfactant such as ethyl alcohol. The alcohol will bind itself to both water and the organic material or in this case, INK. Once bound, it will all wash away from the carpet or fabric all at once. Stain: Ink – Solution: Rubbing alcohol
