My darling 3 year old daughter has put a giant "Z" on the seat cushion of my brown unfinished leather sofa with a blue ballpoint. I have tried hairspray and a magic sponge in a hidden area and results don't look good with the dye coming out the leather and the leather drying out due to the alcohol. It's a soft finish, not shiny, one of those ones that is supposed to look better with a few scrapes and scuffs, just not a giant letter of the alphabet!
Any ideas? She has effectively "dyed" it with the ink so I don't think I'll have much luck lifting it out. Is it time to call in the professionals or learn to live with it?
TIA.
