Getting biro pen marks off a leather bag?

babychick

I know there's probably a thread somewhere but I can't find it! My DS kindly covered himself in a leaky biro pen then put his messy mitts on my (much treasured, pre-OS) expensive leather bag. I've tried wiping with baby wipes but the marks won't budge - they're well dried on now any ideas on what might shift them please? TIA

Hi babychick,

Try hairspray. I've seen it recommended a lot for removing pen from leather.

The advice on these threads may help:

Biro On Cream Leather Handbag Please Help???

I'll add your post to the last link later to keep the replies together. Please come back and let us know what worked for you.

Thanks so much - off to try the hairspray now... will report back later!

well the hairspray has got most of it out, it's not perfect but I am a little impatient to say the least so will have another go later!

try aftershave - my friend had the same problem with biro on a cream leather couch and it took it out.

We used aftershave recently after our newly laid Karndean wood strip floor was dyed with a bright pink loveheart - from a post it pad :eek::eek: and it took most of the ink out - only a faint heart now - which I can live with :T:T:T
