How to Get Glowstick Juice Out of Fabric Couch

Technically, the chemiluminescent reaction of glowsticks occurs when hydrogen peroxide is combined with another chemical reactant, such as phenyl oxalate, and a fluorescent dye. To your kids, glowsticks are the bracelets that you crackle and snap to create luminescent hours of fun. Unfortunately, the fun sometimes goes too far, leaving your furniture covered in glowstick juice. It is possible to safely remove the glowstick material from your fabric couch without causing further damage.
