Then, I thought about marker and such. Well, my luck has it that it worked on my area carpet that has many dark colored squares with some lighter colors mixed in. The permanent marker came up and the color stayed. You can find it at (gasp) Wal-Mart or Family Dollar in their pet sections. There is also another product @ Lowe's that removes stains and smells like Eucalyptus. Hope this helps!Melanie Miday-Sternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066635258362116624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-1148506568821447062010-06-09T21:13:28.757-05:002010-06-09T21:13:28.757-05:00Kate, this happens to the best of us! My daughter ...Kate, this happens to the best of us! My daughter wrote on my cream leather couch many years ago and alcohol and elbow grease took it off. I couldn't tell what your couch was made of...microfiber? Recently, we were in a similar dilemma with getting glue off our newly installed (diy) wood floors. I tried every solvent known to man without avail, but then used a *magic eraser* WITH solvent. So, try the least...rubbing alcohol, then work your way up to acetone. (For glue, I used goo gone ON a magic eraser, but that's a different remedy.) Try it on a hidden spot first, of course. For some reason, the magic eraser with the solvent was the trick.Christa @ Stories of a Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981340526859677275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-46866409363402055912010-06-03T20:41:23.667-05:002010-06-03T20:41:23.667-05:00Oh, no!

She had watched me price things all week-only I was writing on stickers!<br />I feel your pain.<br />Now put the markers WAY up high! ;)<br />Hugs!Leslie {Goodbye, house.

Microfiber is DIE HARD! You can also get sets for super cheap. We paid 800.00 for our couch and loveseat set 3 years ago and it still looks almost brand new. We also have dogs that have been on them and they still look amazing!

The stuff stinks but it works. Might give that a try. It's in the paint department. I have had no problems with it fading the color either.
