Marker on Couch

If it's a dry erase marker, I would just accept that fact that the marker is there. Dry erase markers do NOT come off of anything. Trust me, I've had my share of destroyed things from dry erase markers.

Sharpies might be removed but it could take a lot of work but it's always worth trying. First, try using finger nail polish remover on a Q-tip and rub gently at the stain. If that doesn't work, try straight acetone. IF that doesn't yield any results, try the Mr.Clean Magic eraser. Honestly, I don't think there is anything the Magic eraser won't remove. If nothing works, then search online and see what you find. Good luck!

go to crayola.com and click on the support tab and then stain removal. they have great tips for getting all of their products out of different materials.

Hey L.,
I just got ink pen off of our light yellow leather couch with the magic eraser. It did get it off although the texture feels different in the spot that I cleaned it. But try that, it is in the cleaning isle and it works on everything you can't get off any other way. L. Z.

There is a local store called Tandy Leather. Call them before using any chemicals on your couch and ask for advice

Lynn i am sorry how well i remember those days when my were wee little things. I know you may not believe this but try wd40 i can not live with out that in my house. Let me know if it works. Clean with the wd40 and when gone rub with clear water wet cloth.

Mr Clean sponges!!! I love them! I use them on all my furniture-sofa, chairs ect. Just beware that they are harmful to children! So please keep children away while cleaning! Good Luck!

Hi. Try Hydrogen Peroxide with a soft sponge.

this sounds unbelievable, but hairspray. wipe area with just water first, then dry. spray the hairspray onto the area and wipe off. should work, i've don it before, and i got the advise from my friend who's and upholsterer. good luck

Lynn, I have stuff called Grandma's Secret Spot Remover and it gets EVERYTHING out of clothing...even 3 month old ink stains. I'm not sure how it would be on leather, but I got it at Michael's craft stores, up by the register.
Good luck!!

I would google the question and see what suggestions come up.

Two things that have gotten almost every stain I have ever had including paint. GOO Gone and Krud Cutter. Both can be purchased at Home Depot. Hope this helps.

Lynn,

This is going to sound really odd, but try hair spray.

Good luck.

Hi Lynn, you may want to try "Magic Eraser". You can find it anywhere (Target,Walmart,Publix). It is great at taking off marks/pens off walls and tables. I would be careful and first try it somewhere on the bottom of your couch to make sure it does not ruin the leather. Also, you may want to check the furniture store where you got the couch. It may be covered by some type of warranty. Hope that helps you. Good luck. S.

Hey Lynn,

I had a mark on my kitchen floor that NOTHING would get up until I tried a product called SOL U MEL. You can only get this product through an online company. I love their products so much, I now market for them. Please email me if you'd like to know how you can order it. Or if you find something else that works, I'd like to know that too!

Best to you!
