Sharpie on Microfiber Couch |
|
|
I love the tips for cleaning regular ink and other stains off microfiber furniture, but my 2 year old got a hold of a Sharpie. Not a regular sharpie, an INDUSTRIAL cannot be removed Sharpie. Any suggestions for that?
Dish soap, Magic Eraser, alcohol, baby wipes, even Clorox wipes have done nothing. It is not on the cushion, it is on the arm of the sofa, so I can't even remove the cover to wash. Please help. I only had the sofa for a month before he marked his territory.

I had about ten blue sharpie in spots on my couch, and I put everything you could think of on it to try to remove them, nothing work: until I came here. Thanks to whoever said ALCOHOL and cotton balls. I just dabbed them with alcohol until they came right out. Thank you again!

I just did it. A little alcohol in a Q-Tip took the pen right out.

My son scribbled all over our couch with a Sharpie. I figured time was not my friend and wanted to act fast without running to the store. I tried the toothpaste suggestion because it sounded just crazy enough to work, and it did! I grabbed Crest Whitening out of the bathroom and it removed 99% of the pen marks. You can still faintly see it where the weave pattern includes a shiny thread, but quite the miracle just the same. Plus the couch smells nice and minty.

I was with my son when he purchased his microfiber furniture. The salesman SHOWED us how to remove Sharpie on the sample. He just used regular rubbing alcohol. He just poured it on the marks he made and it took it right out.

After testing for color fastness, try nail polish remover - it takes permanent marker off of dry erase marker pads and does a lot of other cool stuff. JUST DON'T INHALE!! YOU COULD ALSO CALL THE MANUFACTURER I'm just sure you're not the first with this problem.
Good Luck - Sharpies are so good for so many things and then there's that little draw back!!

I had success using Oxy Clean to get Sharpie out of a sofa. It wasn't mircofiber, but it did work on whatever fabric it was.

Try using toothpaste, possibly the ones with baking soda! It has taking out markers when nothing else would.
