Felt tip pen stain on couch?? (light, leaking, vent, remove)

[fishnfool]

Anyone know a good way to get rid of it? My dropped the pen and didn't know it, the tip touched the couch and it started leaking out ink. The stain is small but it's a light couch so the black shows up. I haven't touched it with anything for fear of making it worse and letting it bleed.

I'm not sure about a felt tip - but hair spray works great on ballpoint pen ink. Spray some on and blot with a clean cloth.

"goof off"...... it took black sharpie that dog chewed and made a big 4" stain. took a lot of applications but eventually gone. Orange spray bottle bought at HomeDepot.

ps it's the alcohol in the hairspray that makes it remove ink stains.....rubbing alcohol also works.

I second the hairspray just make sure you blot and don't rub! Good luck
