Did you know...

That HAIRSPRAY will remove ball point pen from your sofa? 

It's true.

I can vouch for that.

So next time you're on the phone, and your toddler grabs a pen from your desk and proceeds to draw on every single cushion of your microfiber sofa, including the armrests....and you see it and immediately think "oh crap, there's no WAY that's coming out"...and you contemplate taking a picture and sending it to the website "Shit my kids have ruined"...
Take heart...and GOOGLE...you will discover there are people out there who have been in  your shoes and can tell you how to fix it.

Hairspray.  No lie...it works - my couch is now unscathed and smelling like the 80's.
