what will get biro marks off my leather sofa?

[lizandlulu]

just tried normal polish but its not touched it, please help!!

apparently hairspray

baby wipes

worth a bash for most things on most things...

nail varnish remover or hair spay, just a little bit

haven't seen it work though

have you tried a wet wipe?

have just tried wet wipe and hairspray. no joy. i darn't use nail varnish remover, i don't know how it will react with the leather. srtictly speaking it is my mum and dads sofa, its brand new, they will kill me!!

is it the really soft leather? analine stuff thats really supple

Erm, you can try to get the sofa professionally cleaned. I investigated for my sofa.

The cleaners did a spot test and my sofa is the sort whereby the cleaning fluid takes off not only the pen mark but also the colour of the sofa! So it did not work. It might work for you.

it is fairly soft, is shiny, not really sure how elso to describe it.

i had the same as blue shoes, soft leather and it just took the colour out rather than the biro, the guy said it may fade the more you sit on it etc as the leather is porous. whereabouts in the uk are you?

Don't try nail polish remover unless it's somewhere that can't be seen - my dd has spilt some nail varnish on my leather sofa and I tried removing it with nail polish remover but I could see immediately that it was damaging the finish so stopped - hasn't removed the colour of the leather though and managed to minimise the damage by giving it a good polish with some leather cream..... just need to figure out how to remove the actual nail varnish now

thtas what i thought, that it would ruin the finnish of the leather. i am in nottinghamshire. i think my mum may have some leather cream in the cupboard, will have to go and have a rummage.

men's aftershave worked on a cream leather seat we have. it was black biro, so i was pleased.

a company called safeclean are pricey, but good. look them up and pop in your postcode if you're desperate

TRY AFTERSHAVE

perfume, it took off biro off our couch and dd drew a lot!

why thankyou prettymum.

Somebody suggested cuticle cream on here once, and it worked.
