Any ideas on how to get black felt tip pen out of a red leather chair?

Thanks

I used baby wipes to get black biro off my red leather purse. Try somewhere hidden first. I paniced as it looked as if it was taking lots of colour out but dried as good as new. Someone else might have a better idea. Good luck.

we've had pen (felt and biro) on our leather settees before. I just wiped with dishcloth & normal detergent. It faded a lot, but still some traces, but over time faded to nothing and just disappeared, I guess just with repeated cleaning over time the residual marks went. Have heard baby wipes and hairspray work well too, but I was more cautious and it went away anyway

Hairspray works a treat for biro and felt pen on leather.
