So I just discovered that my 5 year old wrote her name in an ink pen on our leather couch. According to her she did this a few Thursdays ago (which probably means sometime last week) Any ideas as to how I get this out? We have a chocolate brown leather sofa (not a super shiny finish) So far I've tried a baby wipe, Method leather cleaner wipes, and alcohol hand sanitizer (we're out of rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover, so I thought that I'd give it a shot!) Helpful recommendations would be great (esp. if you've tried it with a dark sofa and it worked for you!)
Thanks so much. |

| Hair spray is the only thing I have ever found to remove ink. Good luck. My DD worte on my friends biege leather couch when she was two, but she did it so hard it tore the leather. Good luck |

| If you're unsuccessful in removing the stain, I recommend you call Bedo's in Falls Church. They have a website too. It's a shoe repair shop but they also do a lot of work with leather. The owner is very helpful so I'm sure he'll can give you some tips. |

Thanks for the ideas! I'll probably be giving Bedo's a call tomorrow. The hair spray did nothing but I think that it's because of the type of leather (not super shiny but not suede either, somewhere in between) I moved the cushion to where it isn't quite as noticeable but I'd still love it to disappear!
Thanks again. |

| Try straight rubbing alcohol. That might do it, it takes off almost anything! |
