Leather?

If so hairspray will remove if

hairspray didn't work on my leather sofa

rubyslippers · 15/06/2010 20:40

Oh no

You gave to try and do it as soon as the mark is made or it is tougher to remove

It has worked for me ....

Sorry all, it is leather, and now am going to try the hairspray thing, hope it works..

Rubbyslippers thank you!!

It had been on for hours, even after I scrubbed, but when I put on the hairspray it literally disappeared before my eyes!

Thanks again!
