Just noticed biro on leather sofa

[nutcracker]

Anyone know how to get it off ???? Have tried wiping it with damp cloth but that didn't work.

hairspray I think

my son wrote his name in nailvarnish on ours and i still havent managed to get it off

Ahhh right will try that, thanks

Wet wipes got the marks off my sofa!

Some biro's will come off with hairspray (preferablly cheap stuff - infact the cheaper the better). Unfortunately some types of biro is MUCH harder to get off...............as I know I've got 11 "T"'s on the back of one of our white leather recliners, and several squiggles, circles and lines on the side and back at the moment

A friend recommended a small amount of white spirit (but check a small area first), and to wipe it with soapy water/wipes/whatever afterwards or the white spirit or it soaks into the leather and ruins it............the sooner you get the pen off the better as it'll soak into the leather!

there are a few tips on TipKing , including the hairspray one

Right the wet wipe didn't work. The hairspray seems to have a got a bit of it off but I don't know how long the marks been there so it might not come off at all.

Thanks for that Kayleigh, have just rubbed some vaseline into it now cos you could se where i'd been rubbing at it.
