Ink on Microfiber Furniture

RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture Post By (Guest Post) (07/19/2008) So we had a night! My 2 yr old pulled all the keys off my husbands laptop while I was taking a bath Thought I was gonna be dead, but we sat there and fixed each key piece by piece. Then I go back into the living room and INK all over my new micro fiber couch. I freaked! I googled "how to get ink out of micro fiber" and wa la. I was brought here. I didn't have purell sanitizer but I did have some kind of purple kid grape sanitizer. Figured it was worth a try it couldn't get any worse right? It came right out and the purple didn't stain either. At least it does smell grape now, but I can handle that much better than a master piece drawn on my couch.

I also have used spray and wash to clean up deeper stains from makeup, nail polish etc. It works great also for an overall cleaning of the couch!

PURELL sanitizer worked wonders!!! I have a son who will be 2 at the end of this month and he decided to draw all over my couch with a blue ball point pen. I freaked. I have a light/medium brown microfiber Couch that was not cheap and is brand new. Terrible two's, here we come. Anyway, I foud this site and tried the Purell and OMG!!! It's gone!!!! I was a litle skeptical but It freakin works! I am gonna try and post before and after pictures!

I didn't see anything else on the web that sounded any better so I tried Hand Sanitizer and alcohol. My black ink mark now looks even worse, just having spread out. The best solution was just to flip the cushion. Just a caution to anyone who reads these posts and things that this is some amazing cure-all.

I used mild soap and water, blotting, as the instructions on the sofa said, but it didn't appear to be working well, so I ran to the store to buy some Purel. It works, thank goodness. I would suggest using a white t-shirt rather than a towel, making sure to put a thin layer of the Purel on the t-shirt so that it doesn't glob in one spot. Don't rub hard; just run your finger (under the t-shirt) over the mark. I did it in the opposite direction my son took.

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 Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture Post By Ally Harper (Guest Post) (12/28/2007) 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!

Report Spam or Abuse Dirty spotted used Microfiber Sofa Post By Tamara (Guest Post) (02/12/2007) Just bought a Mocha Brown Microfiber sofa off Craigslist and...It was beautiful on the computer until I saw it in real life! It is filthy but cheap. I thought it had good bones and could get the spots out of it myself. So I should have waited to pick it up but it was so far from home I didn't want to drive all this way again. So I had the Fella put it in my truck. He had some rope & roped it in my truck for me not to just be nice but to get rid of the sofa that he needed gone because he was moving to NY. I was hesitant about the way he tied it in but he was an Engineer and I trusted him being a college Grad and all. He tied some small rope to either side of the truck but not the 2nd half of the sofa where it sat up high. He said it would be fine on the top there the weight will hold it down he says. Are you sure I say? Well I'm driving along a little tense worry about my precious cargo and suddently people are honking at me. I think why are they honking? Everything should be fine I don't see anything on the road behind me. People are honking and pointing. Then I decide to pull over and see half of my sofa is gone! The piece on top that wasn't suppose to move was gone! I start driving backwards slowly on the emergency lane and there she was out in the 2nd lane! It didn't look smashed up like I thought it would be I think yes if only I can get to it - it will be OK. But then sitting out there in the commuter traffic a car hits it and skids into a half circle!!! Oh my God I say, Oh my God...Cars & Semi trucks skiding and screaching across lanes and spinning out all over the place! Now it's wrecked I think and I'm shaking with Fear that someone could have been killed! A car pulls over to examing the damage on his car. He sits there awhile. Meanwhile I had this nice Semi Truck Driver pull over and help me haul the other half of the Sofa to the curb (4 lanes of traffic stopped at this time just like in the movies). This nice guy from Nigeruga (sp?) tied these lots of rope over the sofa so good I would have to cut that rope off to get it out of my truck when I got home. Thank you Mr. Truck Driver for Random Acts of Kindness! I am now so determined to make this couch beautiful & stain free. I went through Hell to get this and it's sitting here next to me smelling like Curry (I hate Curry) and Thanks to the Truck driver in Brentwood I wouldn't have it here now next to me if he weren't so kind. The Sofa is missing 3 feet and has a corner missing. But hey it's in a hidden area, also they're are some skid marks but hopefully they will clean out? So to make a long story short How do I clean this X&^%$@ Thing? My husband just suggested Baby Wipes. Good Idea???? I will post a before & after picture after I clean it and get the after "Shot".

By morning, the stain had disappeared! It did not remove any color from the carpet. This solution dribbled on spilled wine makes it disappear just like on TV. I was amazed. I have had similar luck on other fabric items and clothing. I WOULD recommend testing on an inconspicuous area first. Good Luck! By Jill from Burlington, IA (Guest Post) RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture 03/13/2006 I believe what you are suppose to use on micro fiber for stains is rubbing alcohol. You put it on a clean white cloth, then on the fabric and it should come off and then the moisture should evaporate and get dry on the fabric after cleaning.

By Mary, Crown Point, IN (Guest Post) RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture 03/14/2006 My friend has 6 kids and white microfiber furniture, when she told me she's gotten tomato soup, crayon, and ball point pen out with a rag and water - I purchased 2 sage green microfiber couches a week ago! The sales lady told me to start with plain water, if that doesn't work try Ivory soap in any form-liquid or bar as it has no ph and won't leave a water ring. Also, check if you have a warranty - for $50 per couch if there's ever a stain I can't get out, they'll send someone to my home to clean it. If they can't get it out they'll, replace the couch free for the next 5 years.

If that doesn't work, use hair spray (aerosol, not pump). By Pam (Guest Post) RE: Ink on Microfiber Furniture 03/25/2006 My Dog chewed up a pen on my 2000 dollar microfiber couch. I tried Bissell stain cleaner with no luck then I read this thread and tried rubbing alcohol its amazing something so cheap and simple did the trick. Thanks guys!

Marjorie from Staten Island, NY Answers: There is a cleaner just for microfiber that we received from Rooms to go when we purchased our furniture but you can also get it from bed bath and beyond. You just place the cleaner on there an rub it out with a towel, it should disappear. I wrote on the couch accidentally while writing thank you notes, it came right out.
