I would recommend make up remover and then drench with water. I had two young daughters and was living with my Mom for a temporary period of time. It was exhausting keeping up with making sure everything remained ok at her home - nearly impossible! So I can relate to that FT job in itself!

Clinique Take the Day Off make-up remover. Pricey, but very gentle yet very effective!

Good luck!

Hi M., others have already suggested my first steps (Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Oxi-Clean, eye make-up remover; I hadn't heard of "Unbelievable", I'm going to have to find that one!) When you get done, and the couch is clean and dry, SCOTCH GUARD!!!! Good luck!

Try the spray foam upholstry cleaner you can get in the grocery store. I had some possibly car grease on a chair seat and sprayed that on it and watched the foam lift it right out. The chair was a light colored recliner.

Well, I know that Oxi-Clean (not Generic) is the cleaner of champions...is it leather, or cloth?

I have my own business with Mary Kay and we have the #1 selling brand of eye make-up remover. It is called Oil-Free Eye Make-up Remover. I don't know how it will work on a sofa (as opposed to your skin!), but maybe it would work. I would be willing to give you a sample so you could try it out. Just let me know.

There is something call "Unbelievable" which you can buy at a local janitorial supply store. It truely is "unbelievable" as I've even gotten dried blood stains out of white shirts. I believe it works on all fabrics, just be sure you check.

Try straight peroxide. I once removed black hair dye from a white carpet w/it...Worked like a charm...Good luck!

M.,

It is best to know they fabric type of the couch. My friend's 2 yr old, got ink all over their leather couch, the only thing that worked was Alcohol. They found the information on line. I think they also called the furniture store where they bought their couch.

if the couch is new enough it may be covered by the company she bought it from. try that before you clean it yourself. if it's covered and you clean it, they won't cover it anymore
