My son scribbled on my furniture...?

Question

how can I remove orange crayon and blue ink from microfiber?

Answer 1

Add plenty of fire ~ removes all stains!

Answer 2

Microfiber... mmmm... I could offer several ways to remove these items from hard surfaces, heheh...


Ok... try this...

Using an iron on low setting, and some paper bag, cut into sections ... they need to be larger than the iron, but small enough to handle easily... say... 10 or 12 inch squares, for example...Lay the paper over the crayon, and gently heat it with the iron. Do not allow the microfiber to get too hot, or it may melt. But, with a little time, you should be able to "blot" the crayon off of the microfiber, by using the paper. Heating the crayon will cause it to transfer to the paper. Just don't leave the iron too long in one spot, or get too hot. (Ive used the 'iron and paper bag' trick successfully on carpet, and drywall)

For ink.... Ive found that there are two cleaners that work really well, for removing ink or marker stains.... but it depends on what kind of ink. One of these cleaners works well on one type of ink and marker, and the other works well, on the other kind.... neither one will remove ALL types of ink/marker stains.. but between the two of them, you can tackle most ink stains. TEST ANY detergent or cleaner you decide to use on a non-visible portion of the microfiber FIRST. (like near the bottom on the back side)... it wouldnt do you any good to remove the stain... only to be left with a big 'bleached' spot, lol. The two cleaners Ive mentioned are Fantastic, and Formula 409. DD7 is also an excellent ink remover. Again... test them first, to see if they cause any bleaching.. if they do.. use something else. (Ive used all of these cleaners successfully on hard surfaces, and shirts...hehehe.. Ive had more than one ink pen decide to leak in a pocket, lol)

Good Luck!

Answer 3

well, hairspray usually removes ink, and, WD 40 removes crayon.But, the problem is, how will your fabric react to both. I would flip the furniture over and look for a place to try both of these products on your furniture. I would actually put the same ink and color on a piece of the furniture fabric that won't show,and see how this works before using it on a place that shows. If the hairspray and WD40 work, then, you'll have to remove those products with mild soap and warm water. And to blot dry with a clean, soft white rag. And maybe even blow dry it with the hair dryer. Just remember, try all this where it won't show first! There are also products you can get from the furniture stores for cleaning these kind of things. Good luck!!

Answer 4

You are in luck. Microfiber is fairly resistent to most stains. And crayon doesn't seep into anything, it is mostly on the surface.

Warm water and soap should do you fine. Keep scrubbing. Don't use a harsh chemical, you may create a stain.

Answer 5

Tuff Stuff works great on melted crayon. You may have to apply it a couple of times because the crayon is down into the fibers. You can find it in the automotive section of any discount store or supermarket.

Answer 6

orangecrayon, you put some paper towels over the spot, and iron on a low setting, ink, try scrubbing with detergent and water, or throw it in the washing machine, if the cover comes off.

Answer 7

Wash it with warm water...furiously...and quickly. Microfiber is pretty resilient to stain.

If it doesn't come out right away, no worries, hit it again with the warm water. It should eventually come out.

Answer 8

There's this stuff called "Dry Clean" that apparently works on microfiber. http://ferret.dhs.org/drupal/node/123

Answer 9

Mr clean scrub sponges clean a lot of those stains...

Micofiber was meant not to not absorb stains..so luckily that one surely wont stain.

Answer 10

Umm..Get a towel and put it with water..
