Permanent Marker on Upholstery

RE: Permanent Marker on Upholstery Post By Andrea (Guest Post) (05/28/2008) I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this. My daughter got black permanent marker on my microfiber sofa sectional. I just "rave" hairspray and blotted it up and then sprayed again and got a wet towel and blotted it again and it is COMPLETELY gone. You are all life savers! Thank you!

Nail polish remover worked wonders, and now my 4 year old son had fun with a green permanent marker, on my fridge, pantry doors, and living room furniture. I'm gonna try hairspray now. I've tried toothpaste, and that only worked on the wood part, so we'll see.

Oh, my couch is tan microfiber. I'll post in the morning.

Worked remarkably.. no pun intended (09/23/2007) By Suz RE: Permanent Marker on Upholstery My 2 1/2 yr old daughter got a hold of a black permanent marker and "decorated" our tan sofa. I was ill about it because we had only had it about 6 months. I tried several things unsuccessfully and then tried '2 part Resolve Carpet Cleaner' without using my carpet cleaner. After squeezing it on, we scrubbed it with a scrub brush and it came out completely. (10/21/2007) (10/21/2007) By marybeth RE: Permanent Marker on Upholstery So my son is two years old. I'm over at my boyfriends house and my son got marker on his microfiber sectional. It was about 1 long and 1/2 wide area. I tried hair spray, Oxy Clean, Dawn dish washing soap and warm water, upholstery cleaner and tooth brush, oh yeah and elbow grease. It seems to be working but I'm having a steamer cleaner professional come and clean just to make sure it doesn't set in. Anything else I can try? Embarrassed.

(07/10/2007) By Gabi RE: Permanent Marker On Furniture Upholstery You haven't said whether it is fabric, suede, leather. I get pen ink off my beige leather couch with a product from the car parts store called Mother's leather cleaner. If it's fabric I would try something like hand cleaner--the kind that they use to clean greasy hands. And then shampoo or dab all the soap and water out. (07/10/2007) By Sheraone RE: Permanent Marker On Furniture Upholstery I used Suave alcohol based hairspray to get black marker out of my tan microfiber couch and it seems to have worked, however when I was scrubbing some of the dye used on the upholstery came off on my rag. I'll know in the morning if the damage is permanent when the whole thing has dried. (08/15/2007) By Mack Report Spam or Abuse
