hi,

i feel sad when i notice my leather sofa has a pen mark today...i havent start to use it yet....i just invited a contractor to sit on it while writing a invoice few days ago....so sad...havent used it already kena a very serious problems..i already consulted a lot of furniture shops and all of them said nothing i can do...no solution but to accept it.....haiz....sad....

Anyone has magic solution? Ur help is precious....thanks...

Sorry to hear about this. If it is not obvious, just live with it. But if you need to try any remover, I would suggest the following:
1. try wet cloth with water
2. try soft and light soap
3. cream cleaner
4. try soft eraser for pencil not the ones for ink. try erasing gently.
If still don't work no point going to abrasive cleaners. Will damage the coating and leather.

Already try:

a) wet cloth with water
b) foam type leather cleaner

no miracle....will try soap and 风油 tomorrow...i also want to live for it but it is white leather sofa...omg...if really no miracle, have to accept it

Ball point pen or fountain pen ink?

should be ball point

Use propyl alcohol, like you do for removing permanent marker pen stains.

This may cause one portion of the leather look dull. Or like being sand off. It all depend what type of leather too.

i think i have to live on it.....i have tried
a) minyak angin (contain 16% metanol)
b) whiteboard permanent ink cleaner
c) tharpentin 叻水

All above cant work....

The extreme is thinner, but it may damage the leather.

Very likely the ink have go into the skin pores

Try use a bleaching agent. Put a touch on the spot, wait about a minute and u should be able to remove it

Try use back similar pen and write on top and clean up again...?

did you try the soft eraser?

this method is a bit risky...write again will darker it......if can't clean up again then.......

Bleaching agent would likely render everything white, including the colour(dye) of the leather.
Eraser removes ink marks by abrasive action which would affect your leather.
You need a solvent which can dissolve the ink but does not affect the colour of the leather.
You can try out using alcohol on an area of leather which is hidden to see if it affects the leather.

I agree with you...but I noticed that the ink may absorbed into leather which no matter what I used, it still the same..

anyway, can you name a product of alcohol so that I can buy it at hardware shop...

thanks

Only use pencil eraser. The rest are too abrasive. However if the ink had absorbed into the leather, then just live with it lar........

Have you tried:

AMWAY Leather & Vinyl Cleaner

or

AMWAY L.O.C. Multi Purpose Cleaner?

I find the LOC can remove most stains, not trying to promote but it does work =)

i think i got the magic solution. the furniture shop gave me free ( a few product to polish, remove maker,ink ) while i bought my leather sofa. i cant remember the brand, have to check. i think for maker/ink cannot 100% remove the stain.

AMWAY L.O.C. Multi Purpose Cleaner? Seems like I have........my wife bought before...let me check tonight..thanks
