Hi,
Are they carpet tiles?
Are they bitumen backed?
if so Using solvents may damage the tiles.

cavanagh its very important to identify the carpet you are cleaning, as mentioned above if the tiles are bitumen backed then you cannot use solvents (except maybee gel's) solvents are found in most ink removal chemicals.  Also do you know the fibre, is it Nylon or Polypropalene?
