    Default need help removing white-out

    My son was using a white-out pen and left it out. The dog chewed it up and it is on the floor (laminate) and the leather sectional. We can't get it off the couch. Soap, water and lots of elbow grease didn't work. It did lighten the leather though (not good)

    Any idea how to remove it?

    Thanks!

    It's essentially paint. Try rubbing alcohol or acetone.

    I did a quick google search and someone had luck with Goo Gone. Other sites suggested contacting a professional. Good luck!
    “When you get to the end of all the light you know
    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on
    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference    .
