I think that the couch is pretty much un-salvageable. I’d just let her draw all over it and say it’s an “Abstract print.” next thing, they’ll sell that at IKEA!
Having microfiber couches… I was able to get most things out with rug cleaner and a soft brush. You might give it a shot. A little late posting this but good luck.
Oh my goodness….did you cry? I think I would have cried!
oh no!! my husband would freak!!
Oh No!!! Very Colorful! I kind-of wish this post was more than a “Wordless Wednesday, as I would have loved to hear the whole story (and your reaction to Abby, I presume:-)). Good luck!
Magic eraser? No idea otherwise. But if you can’t get it out you could always offer it up to a gallery. It’s beautiful artwork.
Did you try baby wipes?? When my daughter was a baby she did this with marker to our couch, it’s similar to yours. I scrubbed it with baby wipes and it all came out! After that I used baby wipes for all pen/ crayon/ marker on the furniture!
Wow! My walls are covered in cave drawings, but my girls have yet to get the furniture. I do have a nice map on the wall outside my bedroom though to direct me into my room in case I should get lost! lol
When I get marks on my sofa I use Spot Shot (it is in an orange and blue can) but I would make sure to test a spot in the back that cant be seen!
At least they did mostly just the cushion, so in worse case you can just flip it over! lol
Oh no! The stuff I use for the walls is the miraculous Goo Gone, which is great. I don’t know how it would fare on your couch.
I agree with the other commenter–submit it to Shit my Kids ruined and at least get something out of it!
That sucks!
