Help! Need advice on how to get biro off...

A leather wheelybug. DD1 aged 3 has never drawn on anything but paper so far, se DH and I relaxed about pens and let her have a biro with her book on the floor. She obviously thought her wheelybug needed decorating! So any tips on how to get the marks off? Or do I resign myself to the new design and go back to hiding all pens again!

Apparently nail varnish remover works

[DISCLAIMER] I have not tried it - i used washing up liquid on a fake wood desk and brought the fake wood off - so feel free to ignore my advice.

Thanks!!!!! You're advice may bot be much help but it certainly made me laugh!

Hairspray, babywipes????

Second the vote for hairspray!!
Can you take the fabric off?
If so spray it and rub it vigorously between your hands, wash in machine and repeat as necessary...its great on biro ink, even the cheap stuff works!!

Thank you.

I tried babywipes as soon as I saw it, it didn;t work and unfortunately I can't take the material off - its a wheelybug

Will the hairsray still work do you think?
