Removing ball point ink mark from leather
« on: July 29, 2017, 14:14:04 PM »
I have succeeded on marking our leather suite with a black ball point pen.

Any ideas on how to remove it before the divorce papers arrive. :( :( :(

A bit of toothpaste worked on mother's cream coloured leather chair.

Alcohol !  Put some alcohol on a cloth and dab the stain. Don't rub it. That'll spread it the stain.

It was probably alcohol that caused it

A google search suggested that - but is that pure alcohol or just something that contains alcohol ?

Yep, hairspray.  Works a treat on "dinner badges" on clothes before washing too.
