Ink smears on leather sofa

[Unlikelyfarmerswife]

DH has somehow managed to get blue biro ink smeared all over the dark brown leather sofa (no idea how this has happened and worryingly neither of us have found the culprit pen as of yet ) - it looks a right mess. Google has had me trying the following remedies - nail varnish remover (started taking off the leather), baby wipes, milk, kitchen cleaner - all have very slightly faded the pen however it is still very much there....any more suggestions please?!

Hairspray

Try cleaning with stronger alcohol howtocleanstains.com/clean-leather-stains/ of course make sure it's not colored. I've got grape schnapps at home and used that one.

I've tried this last week on our car seats (leather), the stain pretty much got out. But, test on a small hidden piece of leather first to make sure no discoloring or else happens

Hi,

Give this sofa cleaner a try. My son manged to get a felt tip stain on our sofa and this cleaner got rid of it with ease.

Hairspray! I've used it on leather furniture AND (years ago) on my DDs First Holy Communion dress after a little brat girl at the church wrote on her back during the photos.
