    try saddle soap
  • Had the same problem myself with ink on my kitchen units... the only thing I know works for definite is paint stripper....it removes the ink (completely )and DOES NOT damage the surface if you wipe it quickly
  • DS scribbled on my chocolate brown leather sofa with a biro a few weeks ago. Although it didn't show much (only when the light hit it right) baby wipes removed all of the offending mark (and no dye residue) - worth a go :)

    Does anyone know how to get blue biro ink out of cream leather. Just don't know what to use on it and don't want to ruin my chair. Thanks in advance.

    Hi emilyt,

    We have a recent thread on getting biro off a leather sofa that should help you so I have merged your thread with it. Good luck with getting it sorted.

  • Hi

    As per the title i'm trying to remove a biro mark from a leather shoe :o I've tried the pen remover we use on the leather suite but thats not worked, i've tried scrubbing it but that removed some of the colour from the boot as they are red leather (kiddies).... Any other ideas?
