My daughter used a Sharpie marker on my couch. Any ideas on how to remove this?

I would put hairspray on the mark then put salt on it then rub it in circular motions.
I have used lighter fluid to remove magic marker when my kids were little. Just make sure you do a color fastness test on the back where nobody will see it.
I have used WD40. Make sure you test a spot to make sure it won't affect your couch color.
I just successfully removed deep blue Sharpie marker from our brand new couch fabric by pouring rubbing alcohol on Bounty paper towels & blotting (not rubbing) the stain. I also used a little aerosol hairspray directly on the stain. Unbelievable results - so thankful to this site for the ideas!
I just have to say thank you to all that posted on this thread. My kids took a sharpie to my suede/microfiber couch today, while I was putting away Christmas decorations.
Alcohol suggestion worked perfectly. I had dark purple sharpie on my gold colored ottoman and it came right out! Thank you for the suggestion
Last Tuesday, about a week after the sofa was delivered, I got a call from Erin and her voice was shaking.
My son got permanent, Sharpie marker on my friend's couch. It is a light green cloth material. We put hairspray on it and it seemed to dull it but did not take it away.
