The couch is made of microfiber and it's stain resistent, but for SHARPIE stain?
Do I use stain stick? Just a sponge?!?!
HELP!! I dropped the damn marker!

Re: HELP! Just got Sharpie marker on my new couch!!!
i kno whairspray takes ink out of fabric....you could try it...I don't know if it works on sharpie ink though....
why don't you try it on a rag 1st...if that works, I would put a dot of sharpie somewhere on the back underside of the couch and test it there before putting hairspray on the couch fabric....but it could work...
make sure you DAB....don' t rub with a clean rag to soak up the ink!!!
good luck!!

uh oh!!! we have microfiber too... seriously, try windex! when we bought ours, the lady told us to use it... and we've had to a couple times and it works really well! LOL it might sound a little like the dad in 'my big fat greek wedding' ... but it really did work good luck!

Thanks, girls!
I tried all your suggestions! You're Lifesavers!
Tide-to-Go and Rubbing Alcohol worked best. Now it's a smaller, lighter stain - although still there. Probably only noticeable to me because I know I did it (hopefully only noticeable to me!).
It didn't help that I took Ambien right BEFORE this happened! I need a bed and NOW!

I have a microfiber couch and I always use wet ones. They are awesome. I got pen on my couch 2 weeks after getting it and it came out right away!

I use sharpie markers all day at work and when it gets on my clothes or skin we use alcohol to get it off. It takes a lot of passes with the alcohol but eventually it will come off.

sarah!! omg!!! do you have that stain guard that they offer you with new couches?? i ALWAYS get those-- if you do, you just call and they'll give you a new part of whatever on the couch was stained-- if you don't, then i'm glad the suggestions above worked for you... if it's on a cushion, do the old 'flip it over' lol hehe!
so sorry, good luck and no more sharpie markers near the couches at 1 in the morning!

I would use Nature's miracle-It gets all of my stains out and most pet shops-yes pet shops carry it.
