    I'd probably first try dabbing with a bit of plain water to see if that shifted it--but check the water doesn't leave marks first. I might also try an upholstery or carpet cleaner--the sort that is a mousse/foam that is designed to be rubbed in. If it looks like ink transfer, then hand sanitizer might be worth a try--it works on some inks.

    Babywipes / face wipes removes an amazing number of stains in this household. If it is transfer of dye then meths might help ( try on an inconspicuous place first )
