Please Help! How to get pen off a leather sofa

juststarting_2

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but my 3 year old has just drawn on my cream leather sofa with felt pen. I have tried baby wipes which has removed some of it but not all. Anyone any other ideas I can try with out damaging the leather or buying a very expensive pen remover. Thanks :mad:

I always use hairspray or milk!

DS2 got creative with a biro pen, and the fresh ink remover sachets didn't work (I was upstairs putting washing away, I swear!)

Any ideas before I call out the cleaning company? I'm worried they will think I'm at it as its on almost every seat!

thanks for any tips!

ps, tried solution of stardrops and my microfiber cloth but no luck.

Lakeland do a 3 piece leather upholstery kit with a bottle of ink remover in it,for £12.99.I used it on my sofa,also brown and it worked.It had been on for two weeks as well,so was quite surprized.

Hairspray worked on mine, sprayed, left on for few minutes and wiped off then washed with some water to remove the chemical. Repeat if needed. Worth testing as with anything on an unseen area first. Cleaning company told me it would be impossible to shift and would need £200 of work to replace the leather, so DP googled it, now I have had hairspray in my cleaning cupboard since, tesco value one does the job.

I can vouch for the hairspray, we have got cream sofas and had to do this a couple of times.
