Thank You Andy!
My wife called me hysterical last week. Our two year old daughter had written all over every cushion of our brand new sofa. This sofa is a red microfiber sectional. It was this year’s tax return 101 costing around $2300. I asked he to calm down for her sake and I went straight to Google. Surely we can’t be the only ones with a terrible two year old writing on a brand new micro-fiber sofa with a blue ball point pen! 
I was write (sorry for the typo…)
I found the following:
Hi Andy.
How do I remove ball point ink from our “BRAND NEW” (!!) micro fiber sofa! Ahhh two year olds and ink pens…why why why!? Thanks so much if you have an answer 
Dear Laura: visit www.carbona.com. They have the answer and the chemical to remove ball pen ink. A two year old shouldn’t have access to a ball pen. It can be dangerous. Just wait,”terrible twos” become “terrific three’s” before you know it. Good Luck, with both the stain and the child[rearing], Andy
Well, I found the carbona near the laundry detergent section in Albertsons. It worked all right. It took a while rubbing out all the ink, but it’s out and we are greatly relieved. My wife has since thrown away all the pens, crayons, etc in the garbage.
Thank you Andy, whoever you are! And, thank you Carbona.
