| I have had good luck with using powdered "Oxy Clean" to get rid of ink out of a synthetic carpet. I mixed a spoonful into a cup of warm water and dribbled it on the stain. (The stain was months old and the size of a quarter.) I then started blotting it up, not rubbing, with a white towel. I did this several times, dribbling on more Oxy Clean as needed. It kept coming up and coming up. I then gave it a good dose of solution again and let it sit overnight. By morning, the stain had disappeared! It did not remove any color from the carpet. This solution dribbled on spilled wine makes it disappear just like on TV. I was amazed. I have had similar luck on other fabric items and clothing. I WOULD recommend testing on an inconspicuous area first. Good Luck! | |

| I believe what you are suppose to use on micro fiber for stains is rubbing alcohol. You put it on a clean white cloth, then on the fabric and it should come off and then the moisture should evaporate and get dry on the fabric after cleaning. | |

| I was with my son when he purchased his microfiber set, the salesman demonstrated with rubbing alcohol, took out several things, even magic marker. | |

| My friend has 6 kids and white microfiber furniture, when she told me she's gotten tomato soup, crayon, and ball point pen out with a rag and water - I purchased 2 sage green microfiber couches a week ago! The sales lady told me to start with plain water, if that doesn't work try Ivory soap in any form-liquid or bar as it has no ph and won't leave a water ring. Also, check if you have a warranty - for $50 per couch if there's ever a stain I can't get out, they'll send someone to my home to clean it. If they can't get it out they'll, replace the couch free for the next 5 years. | |

| Try a little rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't work, use hair spray (aerosol, not pump). | |
