I think blu tac removes itself. Roll some in a ball till its warm and soft and dab it on the stuck bits.

You mean it's stuck on?

Caligula · 10/04/2006 15:57

Well it's sort of ground in and stuck really firmly in.

Agree with Northerner - just roll more blu tack over the top and it will lift up the bits that are stuck.

I can get the top bits off but not the bottom

I have a cream leather sofa and I use astonish hob cleaner which is like a paste. It gets pen marks off but you have to be gentle or else it starts to wear away the leather. I've also used swarfega (SP?) and that works quite well. But again, test on a patch out of sight first. Good luck.

Cheers Flip. Wow - hob cleaner. Radical! And a bit scary. Will definitely patch test first.
