I just had this happen to a light cream micro couch and a light brown one, and my son but whose worried about him right now! lol. Sprayed all the sharpie spots down with hairspray then started using a nail brush on the white one because I figured it would take the most to get out. Hairspray was working great but ran out so i used rubbing alcohol. i put it in a spray bottle and sprayed all the sharpie spots again.I used the brush and it worked good too.
It was still there but it was coming out. It did start to "bleed" but those parts came up a lot easier so don't worry! I fig. the white couch was ruined anyway so I tried spraying clorox clean-up on the spots still there. then took the nail brush to it again and then used plain water and the spot bot. it came right out. With the brown couch I realized if I let the rubbing alcohol dry a little bit it came out better.
Don't use water on the sharpie spots I found they wouldn't come out as good. as its drying I can see spots showing again so I'm sure I'll have to do this like 10 more times! Oh! and wear rubber gloves-I was so worried about getting out the stains I didn't and my hands are so dry they're bleeding! Hope this helps! (haven't even worried about the kid yet! lol hope dawn works!) ... View related article.
