To those of you with ballpoint pen on your leather sofa...

[fannybanjo]

I have found the magic ingredient to get it off! Soap flakes.

DD2 drew all over mine yesterday and my dear MIL told me to get some soap flakes and BINGO, off came the pen marks.

Just thought I would share this gem!

that's an excellent tip! ......but where did you get soap flakes? I can't seem to find them anywhere

I got mine from Sainsbury's. I thought they sell them in most supermarkets and discount shops?

i use hairspray to get pen off leather sofa! , might try soapflakes next time .
