RE: Booze/ink stain removal

It might also take the coloring of the rug out too....

My mother does the old fashion art of rug hooking. Takes old wool coats,
skirts, stuff - takes all the color out, then dies it to colors she needs,
cuts into 1/8 inch strips and hooks it into burlap (doesn't come out
anything like a latch hook rug if that is what you are thinking)... they are
gorgeous, but man talk about tedious... 

She is currently at a rug camp on the east coast and I was hoping she would
call me this morning and I would ask her what to do....
