Liquid Ink Removal

[Genn]

I just bought new slip covers for my sofa. While I was out my lovely dog chewed a liquid ink pen which spilled onto my new slipcovers. Can anyone help be get the black ink out of my light green synthetic thai silk slip covers? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sponge the marks with a little methylated spirits* (available in chemists), and then wash as normal.
