How do i get permanent marker out of furniture?

Question

how do i get permanent marker out of a couch. i accidentally got it on it when i was sitting up... and now i dont know how to get the stain out...

Answer 1

I know this might sound odd! GOJO the hand cleaner for mechanics is like magic. try it somewhere to see if would discolor and if not try it on the stain

Answer 2

The best method I know for any stain is making a paste out of powder soap and water, rubbing it thoroughly on the stain and letting it sit for half and hour. Then rinse. I've even gotten set-in grease and blood stains off of stuff.
