help!! biro on my new sofa!!

[katzguk]

does anyone know how to get biro out of a leather sofa, the cleaning kit which came with it didn't shift it!! help!!

well you could try this, but it depends on how soft the leather is ... so try it on the back/or an area out of sight for a reaction first. Spray hairspray on a cloth and rub gently. HTH

thanks will go and get some hairspray tomorrow!!

hairspray definitely works on my leather sofa. I just spray the stuff on and rub it. but lmb is right, err on the side of caution.

This is a link off Ask Jeeves - it says hairspray too!

ds drew on our cream leather sofa with biro, and I rang DFS (furniture shop) who said they couldn't recommend anything to remove it, but it usually rubs off by itself. And they were right - it just gradually disappeared. It seems that a lot of rubbing with cleaner in one go doesn't work, but gradual contact with dh eventually wears it away.
