How to get pen marks out of the upholstery

When upholstery cleaning in Utah County, we run into ink marks on the upholstery all the time. We first use stain magic to the spot, so the ink spot will not blow up and get larger when trying to get the spot out with a solvent like Pro-Solve liquid and Power Gel. Then, we agitate with a bone scraper, carpet shark or a toothbrush with a volatile solvent to loosen up the pen mark. Then we extract with hot water from our truck mount and an upholstery tool. Often, we have to repeat this process until the ink spot is gone. Getting ink marks out of the upholstery can be done if done right, it takes time and patience. Remember this is a polyester sofa and if it is a natural fiber we would have to take a different approach. Using gel solvents helps so the product does not go right through the fabric. Always have plenty of white cotton towels on hand when you are getting ink out of the upholstery. Always test all products on a hidden area of the sofa upholstery before attempting to clean it, to verify that the products you are using won't damage or fade the fabric. Can you see the difference we are making on this upholstery? Give the Jeff and Judy team a call, if you have any questions 801-756-2275.
