My 18 month old daughter recently got a hold of a brown sharpie permanent marker. She wrote all over our new Italian leather couch! The couch is a sandy color, and leather cleaner hasn't worked. Any answers would be appreciated!

I'm 16 and I accidentally scratched my mum and dads dark brown/ black leather sofa, there was a creamish line from where the sofa had spilled, i was panicking so ran and found the first thing that was black / brown a marker so I tried to cover it up and it looked fine, then it showed up a dark black line darker than the sofa. I tried every thing to get it off or dumb it down. I tried water, body cream, soap and water but then the sofa seemed to go a bit better but was a bit blotchy so I got more water and wiped the whole sofa with it when it dried its all the same colour and you cannot tell there is a scratch so I'm not sure what worked but it worked and saved me a grounding.

OK, so the kid found a sharpie and drew all over my light beige furniture, tried everything in the house and got pretty desperate, read the idea about using Coppertone Spray SFP30 and I will tell you to my surprise, it worked, you cannot even tell where it was, no discoloration or anything. All I did was follow up with some leather protectorate after.

My husband had a pen style sharpie marker in his back pocket and got into my new car and the pen clicked on and he got black sharpie all over my leather seats! Sunscreen removed some of it, but what worked for us was bath and body spray with alcohol as it's primary ingredient. It came right off with no discoloration or dulling of the leather. Good luck.

I also used Coppertone water babies spf 40 to remove black sharpie marks on my dark brown leather chair. Thank goodness! ANything with alcohol would take the color right out!

White Leather computer seat. I drew a heart on my foot, then it rubbed off on the seat into a blob, I tried comet, lotion, and seltzer. NONE WORKED! It was actually worse then I used my straightener spray. Did not work! But then I used my mom's 80's comeback long forever smelling and lasting tresemme spray on a washcloth and rubbed at it and the stain disappeared and it looks brand new except it is sticky!

I had a very large blue sharpie stain on my tan leather couch. I tried leather cleaner spray cleaners and everything I could think of. I finally used Hawaiian Tropic sunblock spf 45 and it finally came off with no discoloration. Do not use alcohol based products will cause discoloration!(

My 2 yr. old son wrote all over my Yellow Leather Sofas with Red Permanent Marker. We didn't see it for several hours. I tried: baby wipes; sunscreen, magic eraser, saddle soap and WD40. None of them worked. The eraser was taking the color off along with the marker. The others did nothing. So, I used Avon's Skin So Soft body spray. I put it on a cloth and rubbed lightly until it all came off. It was like magic. I thought these sofa's were ruined. Now, they are as good as new. You can't tell the red marker was ever there.

My son took a black marker and wrote all aver our beige leather couch. I tried alcohol, nail polish remover and sun screen, nothing worked. I then tried RGH body spray. At first I sprayed it on the towel and tried to remove the marker stain, that didn't work. I then sprayed it directly on the marker stain and like magic it came right off. You might have to spray it a few times to get it all out, but it will remove most of it. I thought the couch was ruined for sure but the body spray worked great.

I tried the hand sanitizer, it worked pretty good, you can still see a little bit of the marker, but it looks so much better. Make sure you use a q-tip when applying the sanitizer because it does take the color away a little bit. Good Ludck!

It wasn't a couch but my friend went to town on my white leather sneakers with 5 sharpies and they kinda looked liked clown shoes. I used sunscreen first. It worked pretty well, but I really needed to scrub. Then I tried axe and it came off pretty easily.

My dog got hold of a Sharpie and went straight to the couch. Great. Thankfully, there wasn't more than a short streak (glad I got to to him fast enough). I used Axe aerosol body spray and its totally gone.

BE CAREFUL WITH THIS! I have a small spot (1" by 1/2" or so) of leather that the dye seems to have been lifted. Its small white spots dotting the texture of the leather. Its much less noticeable than a black streak on a tan couch, but please, BE CAREFUL!

Sharpie markers are no longer the coolest marker! Nothing got the marker off entirely me and my friends tried hot water/soap, bathroom cleaner, rubbing alcohol, hairspray, bug spray, body spray, sunscreen, toothpaste, everything but nothing totally got it out. But I would say that the sunscreen and bug spray worked the best out of everything but it still wasn't "magical".

A little piece of advise, don't have a party and decide to get everyone to write all over your body with colourful sharpie markers and then decide to lead up against anything or pass out on the leather couch.

I started to try different ways of removing the permanent marker and the list included eucalyptus oil, WD 40, magic eraser equivalent, odor counteractant ( actually removes paint on vehicles!) as well as a leather cleaner. I was starting to get panicky as it had been on there for hours without my noticing. I read reports of what people had used and picked a body spray that had alcohol listed as #1, and it worked straight away! Then I conditioned the spot where some of the other products had dulled it and it looks very very good! Thanks for the advice.

So my 2 yr old put a stamp marker all over my very cheap Gardner white Leather Sofa. All of the mentioned above helped, but faded the color so bad that I don't know what looks worse the original color he put on or the color faded with the leather die rubbed off? Take your pick.

My friend wrote with a blue sharpie on my '84 aqua Dan Marino jersey and I was able to get the ink out with a 70% alcohol solution and you can't see it at all now. I just applied the alcohol with a cue-tip and let the jersey dry on a towel rack. It worked with AMAZING results.

FYI our daughter has virtually marked up everything in our house with a sharpie at one time or another. Rather than using body sprays as some have suggested in this forum alcohol works the best. Markers have alcohol in them to keep the ink from drying.The higher the alcohol content, the more the marker comes out.

Thanks for the tips everyone. Now my car smells like Victoria Secret "Love Spell" body spray, but it doesn't have red permanent marker on the leather seats or vinyl dash. It wiped off the vinyl as easily as a dry erase marker! It came off of the windshield with the spray as well. (My son had been "playing car" and had found a sharpie in the glove comp. He's 3)

My daughter just wrote all over our leather couch with a marker. We used everything we could find, but the thing that worked the best and actually got it off was my aftershave (not cream).
We used the nail polish remover, but it started to damage the leather and didn't remove much of it.
The color dulled some with the aftershave, but we put on leather proctector cream and it's shine came right back.

The alcohol/ body spray trick worked! I had a multi-color pink and black sharpie rub off my shoulder onto a cream leather couch. I tried hair spray, but there wasn't enough alcohol, and leather cleaner didn't do anything either. I used a body spray from Bath & Body Works (like a perfume-type) and it wiped right off. I was in shock, and I'm sooo greatful.

I wrote my name on my hand with a purple sharpie yesterday and fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up in the morning, I saw my name on the leather couch (which was obvious evidence that it was my fault). I was upset because I knew I was going to get on trouble. After reading some of the suggestions on this site, I used coppertone oil-free sport sunblock, sprayed some on a paper towel, and rubbed it off. It worked really well. You can't even tell it was there!

My grand-daughter had a sleepover and the girls wrote all over their arms with sharpies. My grand-daughter fell asleep on the white leather couch with purple sharpie pen marks on her arms. The couch was covered with SKATER CHICK and happy faces. Before I freaked, I looked here and sifting thru the miracles and decided to try Professional Shaping Hair Spray. I tried it in an inconspicous spot first and after witnessing the miracle...continued on and in 10 minutes it was all gone. No stripping...GONE! Thanks

Editors Note: I'm sorry to hear about your couch but you make a good point. You should try any stain removing fix in an inconspicuous area of your couch first to make sure that you are not compounding the problem.

I tried the Coppertone 30spf and it worked great, I had to rub it in and massage it into the couch but it is very faint now and my husband did not even notice until I pointed it out. Good Luck!

My 2 year old colored on my new black leather couch and love seat with a black sharpie marker. I used a mr.clean magic eraser and it pretty much took it all off! A word of advice though do not clean the marks with water first because I did that on our couch and the mr.clean magic eraser did not work very well on those spots.

Again the key with these home remedies is to not overrub... It is extremely important on some of the newer two toned finished leather where a darker color is applied over a light. You will strip the color right off if you are not carefull. See leather types and an ink removal write up here http://mobileleatherservice.com/Inkonleather.html

Well some kids in the neighbourhood decided they would put sharpie marker on my car! I was furious I tried everything from bars of soap to shampoo. Finally I looked in my cabnet downstairs and found some old bodyspray form the local dollar store. It worked and got 98% of it out. Thanks for the axe tips but my boyfriend took his home so I had none instead I used what I had as in improvisation. Just proof that you don't need to go and buy expensive Axe or Tag bodyspray's just use any bodyspray's you have available. Thanks for everyone's help!
Grace

Editor's Note: It is the alcohol in Axe or Tag bodyspray that makes it remove the marker.

Most of these quick fixes are working because of the alchohal.. be carefull not to overrub and remove color as well as the ink or marker... If you can not get it off easy leave it for a pro... You can call a local auto dealer to find who they use for leather repair... In most cases the stain can be recolored to match... Great links here .. http://www.mobileleatherservice.com/

The girls got most of the sharpie off the the seats, but there was still some marks. The colors that were still on their were blue, yellow, and pink. The girls used all the cleaners they could find. Please help these girls clean the seats so that they will not get in more trouble than they are already in.

p.s. if the axe body spray can remove sharpie marker out of leather ... what effect can it have on our skin and internal organs (especially our glands, etc...) with such powerful penetration power... just something that makes you say hmmmmmm....

Rubbing Alcohol or anything containing mainly alcohol (cheap hairspray, hand sanitizer ect) should do the trick on plastics.

You should really try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Sponges. You can get them at almost any store now. They work great & cost about $1 each. I don't know how they work, but they work! That's all that counts. I now keep a bunch of them on hand at all time!

Whatever you do, do not use nail polish on soft leather couches as it will remove the top layer of the leather.

The Axe Body Spray worked wonderful on removing green marker off of my cream colored leather couch.

Well, the nail polish remover worked like a charm! Hair spray did not work for me...and I didn't have to try the deordant.
Hope this helps some mother like me!

Hi all! Good call on the nail polish remover on a cotton swab! I did a test on the inside of the jacket (a very small line with the same sharpie marker) and dipped the swab into the remover. I then dabbed at the line GENTLY. The test line came up with a very faint "residue" left behind, meaing if you know it was there and you look very carefully, you can still see it faintly. Please know, however, that there was a little lifting of the pink dye along with removing the black marker line (as some of the above posters have remarked). Then I went to work on the stain on the FRONT of the jacket, right next to the zipper, over the breastbone. I again dabbed very gently, no rubbing, and it took up most of the ink. Again, use as little of the nail polish remover as possible, beause a little lifting of the dye does occur. You can see that there is a "mark" on the jacket, but a small "mark" is a heck of a lot better than a big BLACK sharpie marker line on THE FRONT of a HOT PINK leather jacket.
