Our little artist...

First off as the mother of this crazy little 2 year old I would like to take full responsibility for this...as I was plugging in my vacuum to clean the stairs I noticed a sharpie PERMANENT marker behind the couch, so I picked it up and put it on the banister (HUGE MISTAKE) thinking that I would put it away once I was done with the cleaning.....and then this happened 5 minutes later as I walked up the stairs....

YES, this is my couch!

I frantically went and "googled" stain removing techniques...found out that hairspray works wonders on removing BLACK PERMANENT MARKER on microfiber!

After hours of scrubbing (thanks so much Laura for your help) we were able to remove all of the marker. I think the funniest part of all of this is that when Adam saw the picture of the marker stains all he said was "look, I think she was trying to draw a fish". Don't think he would have had that reaction if we would have to buy a new couch!

That is amazing how well it came off. You can't tell at all.
