Oh lord dh has stained sil's leather sofa with biro. How can we clean it? HELP!!!!!!

[buttercupbabe]

Poor dh stupidly had a biro in his back pocket when he sat on my sisters brown leather sofa yesterday. Unbeknown to him it leaked and has left a big stain on it. Does anyone have advice for cleaning biro from leather - please.

Not that big. Sorry.

hairspray or john frieda freeze and shine spray - test on a hidden patch first - spray onto biro and clean off with damp cloth

[buttercupbabe]

Does that mean you know something that will remove smaller stains for biro? If so what's the secret?

[buttercupbabe]

Thanks taylormama - sounds bizarre but anythings got to be worth a shot.

we have got black biro off our cream leather sofa using the john frieda spray - with a large patch it may take a while - PLEASE TEST FIRST!!!
