Permanent Marker on Microfiber

How do you remove permanent black marker from a micro-fiber suede couch? The cushions are attached and the color is pale olive green.

RE: Permanent Marker on Microfiber

I had read on the internet about nail polish remover. My son just bought a beautiful light tan suede couch he had a black permanent marker in his pocket pants and guess what? Yes he got the marker all over his new couch. I decided to try the tip with the nail polish non acetone and I could not believe it, all the marker came off and the couch is like new again.
I do mean he had a lot of marker on it. I did not think it would work there was so much. So if any one needs to get it off it does work .I used a Q-tip first with the polish remover then took a paper towel once I saw it was coming off carefully to remove the rest of it. Can not even see it anymore. Great suggestion for those who mentioned it

RE: Permanent Marker on Microfiber

Yeah, I had the same problem and used the same product. My 3 year old daughter used a combination of blue and black permanent marker on my bone-colored micro-fiber couch. I read this forum and used the "Awesome Oxygen Orange" cleaner we had picked up from a store called Dollar General. The stuff worked like a charm! I used the scrubbing side of a sponge along with cold water to remove the stain, and then I removed the foam from the cushion and washed it in the wash-machine on delicate. Here's a tip for you...

Don't leave permanent markers where kids can find them. Treat them like guns!
