    Try a little bit f washing up liquid and a green scourer or sponge with scouring side...then just gentle rub in a circlar movement until the ink lifts.

    Good luck x

    if they're leather ones, hairspray should work - there's a thread or two on how to get pen off leather (sofas) that have some suggestions. hairspray worked on my leather handbag though...

    My little boy has a bad habit of scribbling on his trainers or on our Leather sofa's whenever he manages to get his hands on a biro.. Hairspray always does the trick for me :)

    Ciff cream is good or Vim. Rince well then dry. Buff if it leaves a chalky residue.
    Failure is only someone elses judgement.
    Without change there would be no butterflies.
    If its important to you, you'll find a way - if not, you'll find an excuse ! ~ Easy to say when you take money out of the equation!
