Ink on the Microfiber Couch…

10.19.2009 by Girl on Fire // 7 Comments



Oh, Crap…pink ink to be exact. I kept telling the girls to quit setting toys and stuff on the couch.  They kept doing it. Apparently one of them put all the crayons and pens up there.  Great. Luckily the J-man has not seen it yet. I however am sitting on said couch.  I scooted over to cover it so he wouldn’t notice.  So here I sit, hiding an ink stain with my ass enjoying the fire in the fire place.

He is literally right here next to me.  I need to figure out how to get by him and into the bathroom to get the rubbing alcohol.  Thank god for the laptop.  I googled how to remove it as soon as I noticed the bright pink marks on my pale couch. A smart girl makes a plan and I am indeed a smart girl.  Shut up, I am.  Ok, so how do I remove my ass from the stain and get passed him?  The stain will be exposed in my absence….

Ok, I got it.  I am going to find an enjoyable child friendly video on youtube.  I am going to take the little heathens that caused me this trouble and put them over the ink marks! I will then go into stealth mode and retrieve the tools I need.  I’m going to soak Q-tips in the rubbing alcohol and conceal them in my waist band.  I think it can work…

Ok, I made it and I was removing the ink with the Q-tip and rubbing alcohol and those cute little trouble makers ratted me out! He still has no idea what was on the couch…only that I was cleaning the couch.  They have no idea the sacrifices I make for them!  Stinkers…maybe I should rat them out! Well, if daddy reads this they are gonna get it…..

So good thing to know about microfiber, ink can easily be removed with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol!

Mommy saves the day, again.

      Atleast it is cheaper than other cleaning products. I was impressed by how quickly it removed it, I was flipping out!

    NICE

    we have a new sofa and my HUBS would go bonkers if my tot took a pen to it!

    as a matter of fact… a few weeks ago JJ found a wayward “washable” crayon and scribbled ALL OVER our kitchen cabinets under the counter area…WHILE HE WAS ON THE PHONE

    he called me and said…quite loudly….NO MORE CRAYONS DOWNSTAIRS

    and I laughed so hard it was rude….they’re washable honey
    he didn’t believe me but….
    half an hour later he called laughing so hard
    it was rude

    we have had to this many times w/ our microfiber couch as well. And if yours unzips it washes up very nicely in the washing machine. 😉 just don’t dry it in the dryer, line dry.
