How To Get Permanent Marker Off Couch

Permanent markers are a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, but they can also be a nightmare to remove from furniture. If you've accidentally gotten permanent marker on your couch, don't panic! There are a few simple steps you can take to remove the stain and get your couch looking like new again.

The first step is to test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the couch. This will help you to make sure that the solution doesn't damage the fabric. Once you've tested the solution, apply it to the stain and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Blot the stain with a clean cloth to remove the solution and the stain.

If the stain is still visible, you may need to repeat the process. Be sure to rinse the cloth thoroughly between applications. Once the stain is gone, blot the area with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess moisture.
