How to remove Dye from Leather shoes?

My little brother spent £55 on some designer white leather shoes (teenagers huh?!) but at a recent foam party the dye from his jeans run onto the shoes, the dyes been on there for over two weeks.

Any ideas on how to remove it? I've searched the mega index but cannot find any similar situations.

I remember once someone saying about using milk? :confused:

any ideas,

  • LOL, I'm in the reverse position today, I've got leather dye on a cream wool carpet!

    I read a thread not that long ago for cleaning stains of cream leather, and 2 suggestions that apparenlty worked were baby wipes (which lifts biro pen) and toothpaste was the other one.

    Hope this helps

    Hi nicci,

    I know it's not quite the same thing but some of the replies on this older thread might help: Annoying mark on new trainers!
