How To Get Marker Off The Couch

Have you ever had your child get markers on the couch and you had no idea how to remove them? Well here are some very simple steps to help you remove those nasty stains from your couch.

1. Test a small area to make sure the solution doesn't damage the fabric. 2. Blot the stain with a clean cloth to remove any excess ink. 3. Dampen a clean cloth with rubbing alcohol. 4. Test the solution on an inconspicuous area of the couch to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric. 5. Apply the solution to the stain and blot gently. 6. Rinse the area with water and blot dry. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the stain is removed.

If the stain is still visible, you can try using a commercial stain remover. Be sure to test the stain remover on an inconspicuous area of the couch first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.

Here are some additional tips for removing marker stains from couches:

Act quickly. The sooner you try to remove the stain, the better the chance you have of getting it out.
Use a clean cloth. A dirty cloth can transfer dirt and oil to the couch, which can make the stain worse.
Blot, don't rub. Rubbing can spread the stain and make it more difficult to remove.
Rinse the area thoroughly. Any residue left behind can attract dirt and make the stain reappear.
If the stain is still visible after you've tried all of the above steps, you may need to call a professional cleaner.

With a little patience and effort, you can remove marker stains from your couch and restore it to its original condition.
