I'm not too worried about the colour of the carpet, its more the oil in the zinc.
But, I do also need to get some permanent marker off my bench from DD2, so I'll be using metho for that!!
Lol, thanks!!
haha that will def get that off for sure! Metho might help break down the oiliness and evaporate it? Not sure... nappisan sounds promising though.

OR, I don't know if you have seen it but for car apholstry you can get this foaming stuff that you cna spray on with a scrubby thing attached to the lid so you can get it right into the carpet fibres? That might help it!

Poor kid, I remember when I got that texta on mums car seat (a brand spanking new fairlane!) I was mortified. I think I stared at it with my eyes buldging out loony toon style all the way home. hehe
