black biro on leather sofa

[plummymummy]

Does anyone know the best method of removing biro scribble from a leather sofa? I usually just wipe the sofa with a damp cloth as that's all the manufacturer recommended. Don't know what else is safe to use. Tried a baby wipe and that didn't work.

haven;t tried it myself bu hairspray is what you need, apparently

milk (full fat ) and vasiline. a stain removal exper reccommended i to me.
You have to apply it over a few days, and be patient but it does work.

dab, dont rub. then blot the vaseline and wipe off.

took me about 5 days to get it out!

really dont be tempted to rub or you will take off the sheen. The fat in the milk breaks the biro down and the vaseline removed it.

It worked for black biro on my cream lether sofa!!!

Baby wipes worked on mine

Johnsons baby oil :) My mother used it and it came out easily :)

Oh thanks everyone. Will try the baby oil. Milk and vaseline sounds like a lot of dedication so I will try it if all else fails.

baby oil didn't work unfortunately, faded a bit possibly.

i use fairy liquid on a cloth..got it out of mine

did you use hot water on cloth or cold?

I used Lakeland Limited biro remover(comes in a pack of leather cleaning kit).It tooka while but really worked - there was a lot of biro on my cream leather sofa.Whatever you do dab at it and DO NOT RUB!!!

tepid i think not to hold not too cold..seemed to come off easily

Luckily my sofa is chesnut brown, not cream. Just found some on the other sofa as well now
