How To Get Sharpie Off Of Couch

Sharpie stains can be a pain to remove, especially from delicate fabrics like couch upholstery. But don't despair—there are a few simple methods you can try to get rid of them without damaging the fabric.

1. Rubbing alcohol: This is the most common method for removing Sharpie stains. Simply apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball or cloth and dab it onto the stain. Be sure to test it in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.

2. Hairspray: Hairspray is another effective solvent for removing Sharpie stains. Spray a small amount of hairspray onto the stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, blot it up with a clean cloth.

3. WD-40: WD-40 is a powerful degreaser that can also be used to remove Sharpie stains. Apply a small amount of WD-40 to a cotton ball or cloth and dab it onto the stain. Be sure to test it in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.

4. Magic Eraser: Magic Erasers are made of a melamine foam that is very effective at removing stains. Simply wet a Magic Eraser and rub it over the stain. Be sure to test it in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.

5. Bleach: Bleach is a powerful stain remover, but it can also damage fabrics. If you're using bleach to remove a Sharpie stain, be sure to test it in an inconspicuous area first. Apply a small amount of bleach to a cotton ball or cloth and dab it onto the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off with water.

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

Here are some additional tips for removing Sharpie stains from a couch:

* Blot the stain, don't rub it. Rubbing can spread the stain and make it more difficult to remove.

* Test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.

* Rinse the area with water after cleaning to remove any residue.

* If the stain is still visible after cleaning, you may need to repeat the process.
