I was so happy to find this, every other site suggested hairspray which I don't use and don't have on hand, but I've got plenty of rubbing alcohol!

I’ll tell you the best purchase I ever made was buying a microfibre sofa. I have been able to wash out every spot on it, including pen. This fabric is amazing.

Aren’t kids fun. My favorite one was back when my eldest was 3 and he decided to put his toast into the video recorder – not to be recommended!

I have had huge success with the hairspray, but I agree that is the alcohol, so rubbing alcohol is what I will try next time. Maybe it will be stronger and therefore take less rubbing and rinsing. I have removed ball point pen from my tan micro fiber couch and also dark cherry/maroon colored wood stain from a grass green colored sweatshirt. Both left no pilling or stain.

[...] that’s the only reason I ever bought hairspray. Well, now I no longer have to buy any: Home Ec 101 just told me to use rubbing alcohol since it’s the alcohol in the hairspray [...]

Great tips! Ethan took a blue ballpoint pen to my chairs and walls one year and I found a dab of toothpaste worked really well too. You just don’t want one of those whitening kinds (because of the bleaching property), but it seemed to do the trick. I started with hairspray and worked my way towards toothpaste.
