Permanent marker removal tips?

Question

Got really drunk and decided to write on each other, this turned to our clothes and a leather sofa and some walls any ideas how to get it off?

Answer 1

First of all you shouldn't have gotton drunk, second of all it's PERMANENT that means it doesn't come off! By the way..that's sooooo funny, all your stuff is ruined!

Answer 2

Unfortunately you will have re-dyed the leather and so there is nothing on the DIY basis that will remove this.

It will need a solvent to remove the marker and this will also remove the finish and pigment from your sofa (if it is a pigmented suite) which will then need replacing.

This is best left to the experts. Call a trained leather technician to do the work.

If it is an aniline style leather then the mark will be permanent and only time will help as it will dissipate and blend in slowly.


If you try to use baby wipes or nail polish remover you will damage the finish on your leather. Baby wipes are just about the worst thing to clean leather with

Well, it will wear off of your skin after a few showers. However, I have had great luck using WD-40 on the walls. I've never used it on leather so you might test it on a small area of the leather out of sight to see if it stains before using it to remove it on the sofa. Just spray it on and wipe it off with a clean white cloth.

Answer 4

Try Amodex spot remover and a Mr. Clean magic sponge .
You can check out the amodex web site to see where it is sold near you.
Works on hands too.

Answer 5

For walls and funture use the "magic eraser". Clothing use hairspray to remove ink.
And for your skin you just have to srub all you can and let the rest wear off over time.

Answer 6

i used to work with that sort of ink and we used hairspray or alcohol
