Biro pen on white leather sofa

[stressed2007]

My m-in-law is frantic. Someone has accidentally drawn (more then one mark too) blue biro on a very expensive white leather sofa. Anyone got any ideas how (and if?) we can get the mark off without ruining the sofa. Thanks

Try lemon juice
Try milk

If all else fails get a leather care pack from Lakeland which comes with ink remover. You also get leather cleaner and leather conditioner. It was about £12 I think which I thought was pricey, but the ink came straight off and the other stuff it comes with lasts for ages.

I tried the lemon juice and it certainly faded the ink, but didn't get rid of altogether. Only heard about the milk remedy later. Don't know if it works, but it's worth a try.

Good luck

P.S Mine is white leather as well!!

A baby wipe (huggies I think) worked wonders with felt tip off my parents leather sofa.
