Pen on cream leather suite! ?

[philmots]

Anyone know anything that will shift it? I've tried warm water on a towel so far which hasn't really done much, i don't want to ruin the suite, anyone know anything good but friendly.

Hairspray as long as its got alcohol in it....

I'll go have a route through the girlfriends kit see what she's got.. Would white spirit not do it?

How about brake and clutch cleaner - I always have a can under the kitchen sink, seems to work on most stuff around the house. Just do a test on the back of the sofa where no-one can see it to make sure it doesn't take colour from leather.

How about a Doktor Power Magic Eraser sponge (from JML). Nanotechnology in sponge format.
Worked a treat cleening grimy leather seats up in my car. Might rub away a bit of the colour of the sofa though so be careful.

They can be bought from poundsaver type shops for about £5.

What kind of pen?

Hi.. thanks for the replies.

I used the first option (only reply at the time) of hairspray and that's got it fully off, it's blue/black biro pen. It's from when i've written stuff on my hand for work, got home and crashed on the sofa with my hand as a make-shift pillow! Then it transfers onto the suite! took me ages to work out where these random numbers were appearing from on the arm!

I could see how the aftershave would work also due to the alcohol content!

Thanks again, really appreciated.

when i got biro on my parents brand new cream leather sofa i used leather cleaner/conditioner for leather car seats that found in the garage. it took hours of scrubbing, but you cant see it, and they never noticed. and it was in a prominant position, on top of the arm rest.

I got a stick thing for this very occasion that came with my sofa, Ill send you it if you will send it back when you have used it?

Thanks for the offer Defcon but the hairspray did it in about 2minutes flat, it was a right mess too!
