Has this ever happened to you? You leave the room and your child magically gets a hold of a pen/or crayon and uses your furniture as a canvas? Well don't fret... I have an easy trick that will remove this "artwork" within minutes.
First take you hairspray, any brand it doesn't matter. However I like to keep a cheaper one set aside for this kind of occasion. (This sadly happens a lot in my house hold)
Start spraying the area's where the ink is located
Spray the area until it is completely saturated, as demonstrated in the pictures provided above.
Then,using a circular motion take a tooth brush and scrub the area. There will be drips of the hairspray and ink mixture so it will be helpful to have a damp rag near to catch the drips.
This is the important step. Make sure you have a white towel (colored towels may bleed into the fabric of the furniture and cause a stain.) Dampen the towel with warm water and scrub the area. Make sure the towel has a good amount of water on it to prevent the fabric from drying hard (this is caused from the hairspray, in case you wondering) I like to go over the spot a bunch of times to prevent the hardening of the fabric to occur.
This is what the wet spot looks like after I am done.
And here is the finished look after dried. See, no more pen stain!
(We have micro fiber furniture, I have not tested this idea on other fabrics. So before you try this on your couch test a small area to see what the affects of the hairspray/ink will do to your furniture. I would hate for someone to try this on their furniture and it ruins it!)
If you have any more questions please let me know! :]
