    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL]. :)

  • I may be completely wrong here but I'd try the stain removing foam block things that are made by Flash (in the advert Karl thingy uses them to get crayon off the wall etc....,) after that I'm stuck

    If you can put them in the washing machine/soak them you can get the colour run remover, usually in the aisle near stain removers in supermarkets.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Not very OS I'm afraid :o but I used Vanish Oxy Action when this happened to mine. Mix up a little paste in a dish then apply with a toothbrush, it got all the dye out from both the leather and the plastic logo bit at the back.

    I then rinsed theOxy off with water as I don't think the Oxy action staying on the leather would be good for it!
