    milk dissolves biro but I'm not sure if it would then:

    a) leave a milk mark
    b) stink!!!

    Hairspray (tinned aerosol type) also usually dissolves biro but not sure if that too would leave a mark or damage the leather.

    I've only done both on washable items and washed as soon as I've treated them.
