how do you get pen off couch? My 4 year old drew on my microfibre couch and i cannot get it off...please help
thanks everyone for the great tips.. i used hairspray and it worked like a charm!!
Then only think I know that works is alcohol. It may take a lot of it. Hairspray may work as well but that is also alcohol based. If they still make final net, it use to be really cheap @ Sally beauty supply
Goo Gone should also work.. But test on your fabric.
I third the Hairspray works great on ink! Spray blot, spray blot, spray blot - when it's gone you may have to rinse with water so you don't end up with a hard/stiff spot. Also - when I used to work in the shoe business a million years ago - I discovered this product that is fantastic at getting stains out of anything! "DYO SPOT REMOVER" - (pronounced DYE OH" - I think it's something like dry cleaning fluid - it has even taken lip liner out of the headliner of my car without making it look like it has scrub marks. You can usually find it at old school family type shoe stores, or shoe repair shops. Good luck!
Hello B.... I have used pure rubbing alcohol on clothes and furniture with pen. It might take a few applications, but it is stronger than hair spray, and it is the alcohol in the hair spray that works. I've just poured it on and let it sit, and repeated it necessary. I just don't know what color your microfiber couch is. Good luck.
The answer is rubbing alcohol. You'll never know it was scribbled on.
Good Luck,

HI. Aerosol hairspray works on pen on clothes. You spray it on really good before putting in washing machine. So maybe it would work on the couch? Spray it well, let it sit, and then I would take a
TINY bit of dishsoap, on a wet washcloth and wipe it off. That is what i would try anyway. Candy
oooo I use this great non-caustic product that gets gum out of carpet and Marker off a laptop screen. Best part is it is delivered directly to your door.

Good luck!
I had the same problem. My son wrote on my microfiber with pen. I used woolite and distilled water to get it off. Good Luck.
I know this sounds crazy, but I always use hair spray. Spray it on, blot it with a clean cloth, if it doesn't all come out spray again and repeat until it is all gone.
Good Luck,

I was once able to remove ball point pen ink from a white oxford shirt with rubbing alcohol on a white wash cloth. The ink transferred to the washcloth and ruined it, but the shirt was saved after multiple soakings in alcohol and scrubbing with the washcloth.
My daughter used black sharpie on my peach chair when she was little. Basic-H by Shaklee did the trick. It worked great. If you want something non-toxic, it's the way to go. They now have a new version Basic-H2. I personally haven't tried the new formula on upholstry, but the label still has directions for delicate fabric, so it ought to work fine. They still sell the Classic Basic-H which is what I used a few years ago. There are at least 2 local Shaklee Distributors listed in the mom-owned business pages of MamaSource. Good-Luck.
Hiar spray...with no oil..the cheap ones for $1.00 good luck.
Nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol will get it right out, you just need to rub hard. The same thing happened to me and we got it all off. Good luck!
