Hairspray will get it off. Good luck

trying it now but it doesn't seem to be working. Any particular method?

Deodourant usually works. Failing that a drop of vodka.

Hi elljay,

There was a very similar thread on this a couple of days ago that might help you: Biro on cream leather chair (Aaaarrrghh!)

I'll merge your thread with it later as it helps to keep all the suggestions together.

thanks pink. i'm a bit scared now as when i tried the hairspray the colour of the leather started coming off on the tissue so i don't know what to do?

i always use hairspray and cannot say I have notice the colour coming off. Sometimes takes 3 soakings of hairspray.

So Give it a good squirt then rub gently and repeat as necessary.

My sofa is cream what colour is your chair??

Hi,

I was pannicking when I saw some ballpoint pen stain on my cream leather sofa. I tried various method but still could not remove it so I just left it at that.

Then after a few weeks (or months?), the stain disappeared. I reckon that's the beauty of real leather.

milk is supposed to work something to do with the acid in it,so oh just shouted in my ear

it's a dark tan colour and the finish is quite smooth rather than grainy if that makes sense. when i used the hairspray twice i saw orangy dye on the tissue
