Anybody out there tell me how to remove biro ink mark from my leather settee?
Answers:
hi there, i have a leather cream sofa, and a 2 year old.!!!...the best way i found way was to put hairspray on cotton wool, not on the sofa... and dab it carefully on the ink...but be carefull as i does get tacky, and may take the colour off....try on a piece that is not on show... it does work but like i say my sofa is cream...once it is clean.i buffed mine up with some leather cleaner... i also clean my sofa up with baby wipes,, rather than expensive leather wipes...after all if they ok for babys skin, they should be ok on leather sofas...but take care with the hairspray..and good luck..

A wipe-clean.
Spray hairspray on it and dab it off with a kitchen towel
Sharp scissors
Wet wipes work a treat.
Hairspray (try it where it doesn't show first in case it damages the leather.)
use yoghurt or baby's powder
You get leather wipes which remove all kinds of stains from leather. You can buy these in Tesco but for really good ones go to Land of Leather (but they will cost you)
try cillit bang, or no wet wonder foam
A dab of white spirit should do it, test first for colour run.
Just spray a little hair laquer
it removes pen marks from a cd
Baby wipes or if that doesn't work try the leather wipes as already suggested, if no use go to your local diy store they ususally do a cream specially formulated for the job
i have had the same problem, i used nail varnish remover on a cottonwool ball , dont rub to hard and wipe it with a wet cloth with just water on it afterwards. it worked for me but my settee is cream so i dont know what it would if your settee is a coloured leather.
spray hairspray on the biro and wipe it off straight away i promise it will work.
put baby wipes on part that has ink and leave for about an hour , then use a fresh one and wipe it clean off
well i had the same problem, and tried a little washing up liquid,, gently sponging it off, it worked....
Try meths ( Alcohol) on a rag , if no meths try neat gin , vodca, etc
You can buy a leather cleaner from Argos £20
I use this and it lasts for ages and removes all stains.
It also feeds the stitches on your sofas so I would reccomend you buy this.
cillit bang.
From my friends experience DONT use baby wipes - they removed the colour from her dark brown leather sofa and the nice biro smiley face her son drew is still there!
I use an ecofriendly product that gets out about everything especially marker and sticky stuff.
How can I whiten my white shirts. They no longer are bright white like when they are new.?
