Ink on Microfiber Furniture

RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By eringates2004 (1) Contact My 4 year old thought that the back of my microfiber couch was the perfect place to teach my 2 year old his alphabet with an ink pen (how cute). I do give her a little credit, she tried to but paper up first, but the pen poked through, then it wasn't worth the hassle apparently. When I got down stairs, I couldn't even describe the shock. My husband was out of town and would flip out if he saw this. I googled it and found one other site before this they said to try ammonia and peroxide first (what are they nuts!). I thought I would look again and found this site. Hand sanitizer seemed much more reasonable. It worked! Now my husband won't flip out so bad when he sees the picture :) Thanks everyone!

Simply put Purell hand sanitizer directly on the ink and let it sit for just a second then blot it up with a white cloth. It is like magic it just transfers from the microfiber (couch in my case) to the cloth. I thought I was gonna stroke when my 2yr old son drew on my new 2k dollar couch. I quickly did a google search and wha laa it's gone. My couch is saved and looks like it did when I bought it.

However, I've since desidnated a "coloring/drawing only" area for my son to avoid such catastrophes! SoftSoap and Hand Sanitizer (I used Germ-X) are wonders on MicroFiber. It takes some scrubbin', but it's well worth it.

Ridgeway, Va (Guest Post) Well, another testimony to the benefits of hand sanitizer (especially if it has lemon Peel oil in it!) My 15 year old teenage daughter with ADHD, was doing her homework in black ink roller pen ( and went to get a snack) and sat down on her pen. She got up to find ink marks on my cream microfiber sofa! I hit the roof! How many times had I told her NOT to do her homework in pen anyway? I found one site that said to use Lysol spray but I was nervous about it's strength even though I went out to buy some. Then I found this site! WOW! I had some that was a school gift with lemon peel oil but didn't have enough for the whole stain. So, I ran back out to get Purell and it was out! It is all out except for a small spot where the tip of the pen ran into the foam under the fiber leaving a small shadow of the ink. She was so grounded and I was a monster but now it looks new again. All is forgiven but she is now not allowed to sit on the sofa to do homework. I realize it wasn't on purpose but teenagers should know better. I will definitely recommend this to friends. I will probably work well on my microfiber long jacket as well.

We have a bottle of Germ-X hand sanitizer - took a towel to it and rubbed the hand goo on and to my surprise and relief, it worked INSTANTLY. No damage to the cushion, no leftover marks, it is GONE.

Thank you for the tip.

Thanks so much! Posted on 01/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By tiffany (Guest Post) This morning my 2 year old son took a blue ink pen to both my microfiber loveseat and my recliner. I was so upset until I read that hand sanitizer would take it out. I went and grabbed a bottle of Purell hand sanitizer, and to my excitement the ink came out right away with just a few drops and about 5 seconds of rubbing with a dry towel on each spot! I even tried it on a couple of old ink marks from about 4 months ago and it took those out too! Thanks for the help! Posted on 01/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ball Point Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Rick and Roni (Guest Post) We used Purell hand sanitizer to clean several different ink pen spots - dabbed a little drop over each spot - rubbed lightly back and forth with a cotton towel. MAGIC. Posted on 01/10/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Rebecca (Guest Post) ANYTHING is supposed to come off of a microfiber sofa with a basic alcohol solution. When we bought our sofa, the salesman wrote our phone number on one of the cushions with a ball-point pen and then cleaned it off with the solution in a spray bottle and a terrycloth towel. We were SOLD! If alcohol solution does not work, try Mostenbocker's (can be found in the cleaning aisle at Home Depot). There are several different Mostenbocker formulas - I've used #3 to successfully remove dried, red NAIL POLISH from a WHITE down comforter. It's a little labor intestive, but it's AMAZING. I've also used another one of their formulas (#7?) to remove melted chewing gum from the cloth upholstery in my car. Their cleaning products are second to none.

After searching the net, I found this post with possible solutions. I tried the hand sanitizer since I did not have rubbing alcohol readily available and because I wanted to hurry and address the problem. IT WORKED like a charm! WOW, I placed a dab only on the spot impacted, rather than rubbing it in and not leaving it to soak I immediately used a clean and dry cotton wash cloth and used brisk sweeping motions in every again on the spot. The area first grew wet looking (understandably) even though I was not rubbing it in and even though it had not soaked in, this seemed to be a natural occurrence though. After about 3 to 5 minutes of the lightly brushing and very delicate stroking technique the wettened area began to dry and revealed the spot was gone, no rub marks, no discoloration and no stain whatsoever. Really cool, you know I bet if you asked her my wife would not admit it in conversation with a stranger but I could tell she was quite relieved it came out. sincerely, collective sigh Posted on 01/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Ally Harper (Guest Post) Oh My Gosh, Was I Devastated To Find An Ink Pen Trail On My NEW Bomber "IN COLOR" Brown Couch Left By My 4 Yr Old Daughter! Used Plain "CLEAR" Hand sanitizer And It Came Out Perfectly...I Thought It Would Bleach Out The Couch, Boy Was I Wrong! I Guess I Will Be Stocking Up On This Stuff..Due To The Little Artist In The Family! LOL. Posted on 12/28/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Elizabeth (Guest Post) Thank you for the rubbing alcohol recommendation. I really doubted it would work after my 19mo son drew on my beige microfiber couches, but the only mark left is the water stain that my upholstery cleaners can get out. Posted on 12/19/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By michele (Guest Post) Wow! I am soooo thrilled! My son drew all over my new cream colored micro-fiber couch (again!) and this time after an hour of using the solvent that came with the couch and it was hardly budging I tried the alcohol and it worked immediately! Looks brand new again! I was scared to try it because I didn't want to make it worse, but I tried anyway as I thought it would be best to do it on the fresh ink asap. Thank you!

He had a field day coloring all over my soon to be husband's new beige couch with a blue ink pen. I thought it was going to be the death of me and our daughters. Thank you so much for the rubbing alcohol advice. It worked like a charm. We now can remove the throw blanket:-) Posted on 11/22/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Rocio (Guest Post) THANK YOU very much for the advice! My older sister was helping our younger sister with her homework and accidentally wrote on the sofa. Needless to say we felt guilty and didn't know how to get the stain out. We tried the hand sanitizer and it worked great! The stain was out within minutes! Posted on 11/18/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Teneka (Guest Post) I just googled the same question, and then tried getting blue pen ink out, with alcohol. It worked! It was just 91% rubbing alcohol. You have to be a little patient but just keep rubbing! Posted on 11/15/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Ken from Ontario (Guest Post) Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! My kids got gel ink on the green microfiber sofa. Of course I had a fit. Then I tried the rubbing alcohol. Worked like a charm. Ken Posted on 11/10/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By RC5 (Guest Post) Hand sanitizer works perfect! Try this, the ink will come off instantly. My toddler got blue ink all over our light colored microfiber sofa and I didn't have rubbing alcohol around the house, so I tried this and was thrilled at the results! Posted on 11/04/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Ann (Guest Post) This is the best "how to advice" I have ever found on the web.

After reading these posts, we used rubbing alcohol and our dryer on cool and the red mark disappeared. Thank you.

My husband bought me a very expensive dining room set that I have wanted forever and the chair seats are microfiber. My lovely 2 year old son traced his hands with a red pen on every chair! I didn't want my husband to know so I came here. The rubbing alcohol worked great and took the pen right off! Posted on 08/28/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By Hope (Guest Post) Thank God I read this. I have a sage microfiber couch and my child took red pen all over it. I put rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and it came right off! I used cold air from a hair dryer to dry it and you can't even tell it was there. It didn't bleach it or ruin the fabric.

Posted on 08/27/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture By (Guest Post) My 2 year old son drew a large picture on my cream color microfiber sofa with blue ink. After reading a few peoples suggestions from this link, I used rubbing alcohol. It worked pretty good, although when it is still wet you can still see it. I used a blow dryer which made the ink fade a lot quicker, however, I initially started with the blow dryer on hot air. After realizing this was then leaving burn marks I changed to cool. Thanks for all the feedback. Posted on 08/17/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
