If it's a dry erase marker, I would just accept that fact that the marker is there. Dry erase markers do NOT come off of anything. Trust me, I've had my share of destroyed things from dry erase markers.

Sharpies might be removed but it could take a lot of work but it's always worth trying. First, try using finger nail polish remover on a Q-tip and rub gently at the stain. If that doesn't work, try straight acetone. IF that doesn't yield any results, try the Mr.Clean Magic eraser. Honestly, I don't think there is anything the Magic eraser won't remove. If nothing works, then search online and see what you find. Good luck!

Hey L.,

I had a mark on my kitchen floor that NOTHING would get up until I tried a product called SOL U MEL. You can only get this product through an online company. I love their products so much, I now market for them. Please email me if you'd like to know how you can order it. Or if you find something else that works, I'd like to know that too!

Best to you!

Hi L., you may want to try "Magic Eraser". You can find it anywhere (Target,Walmart,Publix). It is great at taking off marks/pens off walls and tables. I would be careful and first try it somewhere on the bottom of your couch to make sure it does not ruin the leather. Also, you may want to check the furniture store where you got the couch. It may be covered by some type of warranty. Hope that helps you. Good luck. S.

This is going to sound really odd, but try hair spray.

Good luck.

Two things that have gotten almost every stain I have ever had including paint. GOO Gone and Krud Cutter. Both can be purchased at Home Depot. Hope this helps.

I would google the question and see what suggestions come up.

L., I have stuff called Grandma's Secret Spot Remover and it gets EVERYTHING out of clothing...even 3 month old ink stains. I'm not sure how it would be on leather, but I got it at Michael's craft stores, up by the register.
Good luck!!
