is there any way to remove pen stains from leather sofa?



Answers:
Leather Spot Cleaning

For any spot cleaning, be sure you spot check for color fastness on an area that won’t be visible.

Some of the same remedies used for furniture can be used on clothing as well.

Either toothpaste (applied straight to the stain, then wiped away) or hairspray can remedy ink stains. Usually cheap aerosol hairspray works the best. If neither of those work, your last resort is non-acetone nail polish remover. Be sure to test first.

If the leather item you wish to clean states that it should be cleaned only by a professional, consider seeking professional advice before embarking on any homemade remedy.

Mr. Clean magic eraser, works on everything, just a tiny bit of water (assuming it's not suede), rub and let dry. Or get some leather cleaner from a shoe store.
I've heard of acetone or rubbing alcohol working for pen on leather. I use saddlesoap and leather conditioner to clean my leather, but I've never tried it on pen. Whatever you use, I'd suggest testing it in a hidden area first to make sure it doesn't do anything horrible to the leather.
I've removed pen stains from cloth by sprying some hair spray directly over the stain and pressing with a white cotton cloth to absorbe the wet ink.
Try eucalyptus oil
Try some hair spray on a Q-tip. Be sure to test it on an area of the couch that's not easily seen first.

Good luck.
try goo gone, also non acetone finger nail polish remover but try it on a spot you can not see first.
I have successfully used Ronsonol lighter fluid (for cigarette lighters) on both leather and suede to remove grease, pen and generally nasty stains.
