HELP!!! My squirmy 13 month old daughter managed to get her diaper off and got Desitin all over my microfiber couch! Any idea what I should use on it? I'm afraid to make it worse...

I use Baby wipes too. Then I use a damp lintless rag to spread out the wetness and try to fade it out or else you will get a water line.

I am not sure if this will help but it works on laundry with oil/ grease stains. It is hand cleaner called "Orange Goop" I have found it at Dollar Tree in the automotive aisle. I would test a small spot first but I have saved numerous clothing items that have oil or grease based stains. Hope it helps.....

Hi J.,
I like the magic eraser for lots of things. I have my son, 8, wash down the cabinets, stove, walls, fridge - everything in the kitche, every other week. It's his chore, and he is mystified on how this thing works.

Don't know how that will work on your couch, but worth a try.

I have also used M30, that I usually find in a $ store. I use it for tough stains on clothing. I have also used it a couple times for getting gum off of a seat in my van. (my son tried to throw his gum out the window, but it came back in and landed on the other back seat. M30 worked great on it and had no mess and no sign of the gum, and wiped it off with a paper towel, then cleaned off the last of the gook with a damp paper towel.

Good luck

You probably paid extra for the treatment of the couch call the store where you bought it and see if they could tell you what to do or have them do it.

On a fabric I was able to throw in the wash I used baby powder. Let it set for a few hours and then wash as usual. Good luck with your couch.

I'm not sure but for future reference, I always spray scotchguard on my microfiber couch and all stains come off with water!
