How to remove pen marks from sofa fabric 

Removing pen marks from sofa fabric can be a tricky task, but with the right approach and some basic household items, it is possible to get the stains out. Below are some steps you can follow to remove pen marks from your sofa fabric: 

1. Blot up as much of the ink as possible with a clean white cloth or paper towel. Be sure to press firmly, but be careful not to spread the ink further. 
2. Next, dampen a clean cloth with water and gently rub the affected area to remove any remaining ink. Be sure not to saturate the fabric, as this can cause the ink to spread further. 
3. If the stain is still visible, try using a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water to gently rub the affected area. The acid in the vinegar can help break down the ink and remove the stain. Be sure to test this method on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first to make sure it doesn’t cause any damage. 
4. If the stain is still not coming out, you can try using a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth and gently rubbing the affected area. Again, be sure to test this method on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first to make sure it doesn’t cause any damage. 
5. Rinse the area with water and blot dry with a clean cloth. 
6. Repeat any of the above steps as necessary until the stain is removed. 

It is important to note that these methods may not work for all types of fabric, so always be sure to check the care label on your sofa before attempting to remove any stains. 

In addition to the above method, few more things to consider: 

• Avoid using heat on the affected area, as this can set the ink stain and make it much more difficult to remove. 
• Make sure to use a mild detergent or soap and avoid using harsh chemicals on your sofa fabric, as these can cause discolouration or damage. 
• If the stain is still not coming out, try using a specialized fabric stain remover. 

In any case, it is always best to be as quick as possible in treating the stains, as fresher the stain is, the easier it will be to remove.
