I was able to remove ceramics glaze (!?!?!) from a pair of my child's shorts using high concentration rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover, but it left a slight yellow tinge that I can't get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-orange-sharpie-highlighter-nice-couch-omfg#post-2852835 Tue, 23 Oct 2018 11:42:43 +0000 AB810 2852835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my friend got sharpie out with folex </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-orange-sharpie-highlighter-nice-couch-omfg#post-2852657 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 14:20:44 +0000 RonjaL7 2852657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This stuff has gotten black sharpie off my hard furniture really easily. Not sure about fabric but it is worth a try. I use a small amount on a microfiber cloth and scrub in small circles.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048AAUXA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048AAUXA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-orange-sharpie-highlighter-nice-couch-omfg#post-2852590 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 11:13:43 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2852590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: I've had good luck using foaming carpet cleaner on my couch. good luck. What a nightmare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-orange-sharpie-highlighter-nice-couch-omfg#post-2852424 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 15:31:47 +0000 Iced Tea 2852424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Sharpie website recommends a remover called Amodex, so I'm headed to Lowe's in a little while to get some and try another round of cleaning. I think I will be contacting a sofa cleaning company first thing tomorrow. I'm going to ask them to also put stainguard on the couch when they're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-orange-sharpie-highlighter-nice-couch-omfg#post-2852419 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 14:58:41 +0000 Pancakes 2852419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This blogger was able to fairly successfully clean sharpie off of two pieces of furniture.

What about a wet vac/carpet cleaner thing you can rent at the grocery store? We actually bought one because we use it so much :silly: used it on my couch last night actually </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-orange-sharpie-highlighter-nice-couch-omfg#post-2852413 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 13:18:30 +0000 Iced Tea 2852413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What the eff do I do about this?? I used upholstery cleaner and alcohol, which removed a lot of it, but not all. Naturally, it's Sunday, so I can't reach the couch manufacturer. The fabric is a wool/polyester blend. Help!!!</p> <p>This is the third time my husband's highlighters have gotten into the toddler's hands long enough to do some damage. I threw them away since he clearly isn't learning his lesson! </p>
