How To Get Sharpie Off Of A Couch

If you've ever accidentally gotten Sharpie on your couch, you know how frustrating it can be to remove. Sharpie is a permanent marker, so it can be difficult to get out of fabric. But don't worry, there are a few different ways to remove Sharpie from a couch.

One way to remove Sharpie from a couch is to use rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is a solvent, which means it can break down the ink in the Sharpie. To use rubbing alcohol to remove Sharpie from a couch, simply apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a clean cloth and blot the Sharpie stain. Be sure to test the rubbing alcohol on an inconspicuous area of the couch first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.

Another way to remove Sharpie from a couch is to use hairspray. Hairspray contains alcohol, which can also break down the ink in the Sharpie. To use hairspray to remove Sharpie from a couch, simply spray a small amount of hairspray onto the Sharpie stain and blot with a clean cloth. Again, be sure to test the hairspray on an inconspicuous area of the couch first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.

If you don't have any rubbing alcohol or hairspray on hand, you can also try using toothpaste to remove Sharpie from a couch. Toothpaste contains mild abrasives that can help to scrub away the Sharpie ink. To use toothpaste to remove Sharpie from a couch, simply apply a small amount of toothpaste to a clean cloth and scrub the Sharpie stain. Be sure to rinse the area with water after scrubbing.

If you've tried all of the above methods and the Sharpie stain is still visible, you may need to use a commercial Sharpie remover. Sharpie removers are specifically designed to remove Sharpie ink from surfaces. To use a Sharpie remover, simply follow the directions on the package.

No matter which method you choose, be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area of the couch first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric. And be patient, it may take some time to completely remove the Sharpie stain.
