Please Help! How to get pen off a leather sofa

culpepper

methylated spirits might work.We used to use it to clean biro off photographs at work. I would try on an inconspicuous area first though(like the underneath) just to be safe.

Now I Know This Will Sound Revolting To Some Of You:p But The Best Way To Clean Leather Is Spit Just Rub It On Then Whipe With A Damp Cloth This Is What THey Do In Statley Homes When They Have Old Leather That Needs Cleaning:j :j :j :j :j

My 2 yr old daughter decided to write (a huge line) across my chocolate brown sofa whilst I was on the telephone today - which certainly grabbed my attention as she had hoped lol! However, now I am not sure what to try to remove this without damaging the leather. Anyone got any suggestions please?

Hairspray it is then. Just tried it and it has done the job. It's so easy when you know how lol!! Many thanks Penny x

I will be taking delivery of a leather three piece suite in the next few weeks. I don't use hairspray but I'm going to buy some.

Please help. I have just found a biro mark on my leather sofa:eek: Any ideas for removal would be welcomed. The mark not the sofa, of course:rotfl::rotfl:
