Removing pen marks from microsuede couch
« on: December 03, 2012, 03:20:20 am »
So my little one has managed to draw with pen on the couch this time (last time it was the sheets). Since I can't pop the couch in the wash like I did with the sheets, how do I remove the pen mark?

I've read that you can try rubbing alcohol but where do you buy that from?

The couch colour is a plum/brown colour.

Not sure about the rubbing alcohol but you can buy it at supermarkets in the health and beauty aisle, Isocol and it's in a green bottle.

Goldfish - microseude cloth

Any general advice re cleaning this material would be great too.

Thanks Debbiebillg - will look out for it and try it somewhere discreet first.

My DS done the same thing to my couch when it was brand new :(, I wasn't happy at all.
I just used a damp sponge and whipped it over( although I had my lounge treated before we had it delivered) Luckily my couch is dark brown so it didn't show up much and removed easily :)
