How To Get Sharpie Off Couch

If you've ever accidentally gotten Sharpie on your couch, you know it can be a pain to remove. The good news is that there are a few different ways to get Sharpie off couch upholstery, depending on the type of fabric your couch is made of. Here are a few of the most effective methods:

For leather couches:

Use a rubbing alcohol: Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a clean cloth and gently rub the Sharpie stain. Be sure to test the rubbing alcohol on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the leather.
Use a hairspray: Spray a small amount of hairspray onto the Sharpie stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, use a clean cloth to wipe away the stain. Be sure to test the hairspray on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the leather.
Use a saddle soap: Apply a small amount of saddle soap to a clean cloth and gently rub the Sharpie stain. Be sure to test the saddle soap on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the leather.

For fabric couches:

Use a baking soda paste: Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the Sharpie stain. Let the paste sit for a few hours, then vacuum it up. Be sure to test the baking soda paste on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.
Use a vinegar solution: Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a bowl. Dip a clean cloth into the vinegar solution and gently rub the Sharpie stain. Be sure to test the vinegar solution on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.
Use a commercial upholstery cleaner: There are a number of commercial upholstery cleaners available that can be used to remove Sharpie stains. Be sure to follow the directions on the cleaner carefully.

If you're still having trouble removing the Sharpie stain, you may need to call a professional upholstery cleaner. They will have the experience and equipment to remove the stain without damaging your couch.

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

Always test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.
Blot the stain, don't rub it. Rubbing can spread the stain and make it more difficult to remove.
Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
If the stain is still visible, you may need to repeat the cleaning process.
