How do you get ink off a suede like couch?
Question:My 2 1/2 year old son thought it would be cute to draw with a pen on our almost new couch. Needless to say that my hubby's idea of using shaving cream to get it off did not work. It is a light beige color so the ink shows up really well, any other ideas? We love this couch and have only had it a couple of months so we really want to keep it looking nice if possible. Thanks for your help. :)

Go to your local hardware store and pick up a bottle of goof off. it removes everything from ink, crayons to dried paint. i have 4 kids and always have a bottle around.
i have heard that a pencil eraser can get any non-wet stains off of suede
BOILED WATER WITH DISH SOAP TO CLEAN IT BUT THE INK MUST BE RUNNY
If it's fake suede (ultra-suede), which it sounds like, and it's ballpoint pen (hopefully) then rubbing alcohol should work or at least lighten it. If it's a gel/roller pen, I don't think anything will work.
hairspray. gets most everything out.
