ink removal from cream leather

Posted by ellen (Debbie S), 9 December 2003
Hi,
Hopefully my second question on this site won't have anyone having a strop and resigning!
Had a lovely week,someone dents my car and the children draw on my sofa with a biro!
I have tried shampooing it (with leather foam shampoo)(the sofa ...not the car!)and just cannot remove it .Can anyone help to cheer me up before christmas? Sad

Hi,  there has been another post on here regarding this and someone used vasaline (think I spelt that wrong) on an ink stain with complete success it would seem. However lots of caution was mentioned with regards to the type of leather etc.

Read back and find it if you can or wait till the posters of the previous threads can help you a bit more here.

Just a little ray of hope while your waiting.

DP.

The advice is all available on our website and we have written several replies to previous questions on ink removal.  The best thing to do is come on a training course and this will then equip you with the knowledge and confidence to deal with the hundreds of finishes that are on the market today.  Removing ink is a relatively easy process once you know what you are dealing with.

Judy,
I found your website following another question on this site and found the ink lifting solution.....but i wasn't sure wether you had to be trade to order it?also the nearest stockist to me(according to your website) was too far away!
Any ideas anyone where else i can get something to remove the ink......i think that it has been there a while as i only discovered it when i shifted the funiture around for the christmas tree!my children have been sneaky to pick the right area for me not to discover it!
