The best thing I have found to get red out is a product called Krud Kutter, sold in hardware stores (Lowes, HD). It got red marker/Kool Aid stains out of my carpet when nothing else did. Then again, the stains were fresh. Might want to give that a try. Someone at the hardware store recommended it. It stinks, but it works.

It really is pretty grody how much dust/dirt gets in there, especially with two dogs.

After having been through nearly the same thing with our daughter and our permenant sharpie, i did not see anyone mention the product we were luckly enough to find through frantic googling and phone calls. Amodex was the name and it was a lifesaver. This nontoxic product went on with a toothbrush on our microsuede beige couch with unremoveable covers or pillows. At first it seemed to do little but with some elbow grease, reapplying and waiting (it actually seemed to work when we walked away for a few minutes at a time and gave me time to collect my breath). 2 years later, the slashes and spotted cushions are no more. I still have more than a bottle of it left as it did not take much and she got it alllll over.

My husband used the Kirby and their carpet cleaner on the fabric, and everything came out. The wood furniture was old, so we sold it at a garage sale to someone more ambitious than we were. The wall we sanded and repainted. When my daughter was 2, she found the Marks-a-Lot and colored the walls, the carpet, and some wood furniture with it.

I always assumed it was dye running. Since they are not supposed to be washed, the dyes probably aren't colorfast. Just a little input, in case that helps the icky feeling that your carefully-protected couch is stewing in major grunge.

Good post. I would have gotten new covers. But I'll keep all the detergents used in mind. Did anyone notice the ‘culprit’ sitting, smiling in his high chair?
