I've got same problem and have tried almost everything including wipes and nail varnish remover (which works sometimes but not always, depends on the ink). Bumping for both of us!!

Oh no that was birp from leather chair!

Tried everything on table cloth and it is still there I am afraid!

I have got some stains out of mine by pouring bleach on and leaving it for a few hours (great with tomatoey things). Baby wipes also seem to get lots of stuff off.

I have a thing called Stain devils and it's a felt tip pen stain remover. Had it for ages and it still works. No idea where I got it - lakeland or john lewis most prob.

It's like a pen and you draw over the stain and it comes off. Wilko may do them too?!
