Hi ladies,
I have just noticed blue ink on our new couch which has been scotch guarded. I have used a damp cloth on it which seems to have lifted it somewhat, but its still there. Any advice for how to get rid of it?? -------------

Baby wipes will do the job, otherwise try a bit of jif on a cloth. Magic. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

I tried dishwashing liquid as a prewash softener on some blue pen ink on a white t-shirt. It lifted no problems. Maybe you could do a spot test somewhere hidden first? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks heaps ladies. I'll try your suggestions out in an inconspicious place first. Its like a velour type fabric? I'm not really too sure to be honest. It kind of reminds me of velvet to touch. Maybe suede? -------------
