Ink Off a Leather Couch

RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By ebkt (1) Contact Just don't do it if you have brown or black sofas. I have a reddish/brown sofa set and my 4 year old daughter drew a line with a black ball point pen right on the arm of this sofa. I did this and the ink came right off leaving behind a very light colored streak. Took the color right off! Not like I can hid considering it's on the arm of the sofa. I used the leather conditioner right after, it made it shiny but didn't fix the lost color. Ugh.

After scrubbing and pretty much damaging part of couch, I discovered this tip. The perfume did work, you have to wipe it immediately though. Thanks so much, it worked great!

Posted on 02/18/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By (Guest Post) The perfume did the trick on the ink stain! I've used the Magic Eraser pad in the past, but this time it started to take the color out of the leather! I tried the perfume on the ink and it came right out! Now I'm trying to revive the color using leather conditioner, hope it works! Thanks for the great tip!

I thought the bicast might clean easily but nothing would touch the ink. However, a Q'tip with the perfume took it right off! Impressive. Thanks for the great tip. Posted on 01/28/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch-beware By Robin (Guest Post) Yeah this tip works to an extent. All of it does not come off, you definately need a conditioner for the leather, any kind of oil you have in your house will work. But the search is still on to finish the remainder of the stains. It is not like wah lah spray the perfume on, and it melts off, You will be scrubbing for a long time.

I found this website and tried hairspray with a Qtip but I pressed too hard and slightly damaged my couch and the ink was still there. I went and got my Timeless perfume, sprayed it on and it wiped right off. Hurray!

Our 5 yr old drew in a brand new brown leather sofa with a ballpoint pen, and it took it out in seconds. As far as I can see there is no damage to the sofa from either the ink or the perfume. GREAT TIP! Thanks! Posted on 11/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Kimberly. (Guest Post) This worked great - I used Clinique Happy Heart and wa-la, ink stain gone!

Thanks a lot :) Posted on 11/07/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Dominey, J (Guest Post) I'm so glad I found this site. Our 3 year old son found a blue ink pen and drew some nice abstract art on our dark brown leather couch. (My husband works at a furniture store and said not to let this happen because ink will NOT come off leather.) Well, knowing how upset my husband was going to be when he got home I got busy. I used Vita/E hairspray. Sprayed it right on the q-tip and traced the ink lines with a back and forth motion. I then wiped it off with a wet cloth. TA DAH! Oh, thank you for posting about this. I am in debt to you, you saved mine and my son's hide. (Furniture stores sell you a leather protection at the time of purchase to help avoid this type of stuff, but since our couch was 1/2 off in the bargain room leather protection wasn't an option.) Anyway, thanks again. Posted on 11/07/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Jay (Guest Post) This is amamzing. One of my idiot friends sat on my WHITE leather sofa with an ink pen in his pocket. A few swipes with Puff Daddy's ''Unforgiven," and the stain is gone.

Posted on 10/14/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By leather Cleaner (Guest Post) Thanks so much for the tips on how to remove ink off of leather. I was about to pay $5.95 Plus $11 shipping on guardsman ink remover because Lowe's did not have any guardsman products in stock by me, but I decided to try cologne first. It worked. Try cologne before spending money on expensive cleaners! Posted on 10/05/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Arwen (Guest Post) Thanks for the tips. I first tried using pleasure and it didn't work. Then I used my husband's Lancome Miracle and miracle did happen! Posted on 09/26/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Kelly- Rockford, IL. (Guest Post) I used "Guardsman" and bought the stick from Lowes for $1.45. After using all of the expensive leather cleaners (about 5) this was the only thing that worked on my brand new dark chocolate Italian leather couch that my 17 month old son used to write on with an ink pen. This took out the ink 5 days after he wrote on it and it only took about 30 seconds. I then I used a good leather conditioner NOT cream and it looks perfect. I went back and cleared Lowes out of the rest of these for future children that we might have and future stains. I would not use the alcohol based products on a dark leather. It will strip the color. I don't usually post but this was so amazing I thought I had to share. Posted on 09/24/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By (Guest Post) The perfume worked for me! Thanks!!!

Posted on 09/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By (Guest Post) I can't thank you all enough for the tip on using perfume to remove ink stains on leather. I had a pen in my pocket and sat in my 1 day old car with cream leather seats. Needless to say, I completely marked up the seat. My husband was livid. I used my most expensive perfume to remove the marks -- thought that it was cheaper than getting a new car or husband. It worked well plus smells great! Posted on 09/05/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Thomas (Guest Post) My little brother is five and my other brother is like two. We tried dish soap, very little, and it faded the ink. We also tried leather cleaner and it did not work. The aftershave dries out the leather leaving bubbles so the hairspray works better and I still don't know who did it! Posted on 08/14/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Karren (Guest Post) My 7 year old niece and nephew got black ballpoint pen all over my cream leather sofa. I absolutely lost the plot when I saw it I tried everything. Even if I knew it wouldn't work, I tried anything to get the biro off my new leather couch. But I have read some of these hints and tips and yes, perfume/aftershave does work. But takes a tiny tiny bit of colour out of the sofa. When it dried, however you couldn't really tell. I wouldn't recommend using it on darker coloured sofas, and the colour loss MAY be more noticeable.

Posted on 08/07/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Three Under Three from NC (Guest Post) I have a brown leather couch and a beautiful black ink original art work from my almost two year old. In an inconspicuous place I tried the perfume/cologne. It got the ink stain out but began taking the dye from the couch with it also. I called the service department at the furniture store where I bought the couch and they instructed me to use hair spray. I put the hairspray on a q-tip and then went over the marks to avoid hurting too much of the leather. I let it sit for about 20 seconds and then in circular motions with a wet microfiber cloth I wiped it off, then I dried with a dry microfiber cloth and then wiped with a leather wipe to get the moisture back in. Amazingly it worked!

Posted on 07/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By LeighAnn (Guest Post) My 4 year old wrote all over our leather couch last year and I searched like crazy for something to get it out. None of the other ideas worked for me. I finally ordered a stick online and it helped somewhat but also discolored part of the leather. I called a high-end furniture store and she told me the only product that she knew to work was by "Guardsman", but I couldn't find anyone who sold it. Since then, I found the "Guardsman" Ink Remover Stick at Lowe's. It's made my Valspar. IT WORKS! It removed the ink from my couch and didn't fade the color like the other stuff. It's like a miracle and worth a try. Oh, I got my on clearance for $1.50 (can't beat that).

Kinda dried the leather leaving a visible dry spot. So I then added leather conditioner and it's like it was never there.

Just my luck it had printed it twice on the sofa. iIsaw it but didn't think anything of it. But just in case i washed it off my hand so it couldn't of been me. Soon after I told my mum and came on this website. I tried Lacoste "Touch of Pink". It did work but we didn't get it all off as it had started to discolour. Fingers crossed my dad will not notice. thank you for the perfume tip x Posted on 07/14/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Guest (Guest Post) DON'T USE rubbing alcohol--it took the color out of my mushroom leather sofa and also the ink is still there.

I read on-line that either of these would work. I carefully attempted this and it started discoloring the couch so I stopped. My husband had felt pen on his back due to a surgical procedure and it rubbed off on the couch. We are not happy. We may have to order a new cushion if leather cleaner can't get it out.

Posted on 04/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Dark Brown leather (Guest Post) I had the pleasure of finding both black and blue ink in small spiral scribbles all over the couch. The black ink came right off with a baby wipe. The blue ink eventually came off by using cologne, but it did take some of the color off with it. I am probably the only person who can see the warn spot because I know its there. I found it worked better to rub the cologne in with my finger instead of using a cloth. I wiped it down afterwards with a baby wipe and than rubbed leather conditioner into the spot. Posted on 04/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Off a Leather Couch By Jamie A.
