How to Get Sharpie Out of a Rug
Sharpie is a brand created by the Sanford Ink Company. In 1964, Sharpie permanent markers were introduced. The permanent markers are used for a variety of reasons. Parents write their children's names on school supplies with Sharpies and autograph seekers give Sharpies to musicians, actors and sport players to slow the degradation of their autographs. There is a downside of Sharpie usage. When it gets on a rug, there is no guarantee that the stain can be completely removed. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Clean the stain as soon as possible; the longer the Sharpie remains on the rug, the harder it will be to clean.
The stain may not completely come out of the rug.
