Thanks,

You have dye transfer. Magic Erasers act like fine sandpaper and if they remove the dye they will also damage the finish. Use Maxi Clean (LTT) which is specifically designed for this job and then when you have removed it use Leather Protect which will protect your pale leather from dye transfer in the future

I can't imagine the frustration you're feeling!!! You might try this idea - the Magic Eraser now on the market - you know, the white sponge looking cleaning pad - will clean up practically anything. It's actually a little spooky to me how well it removes all kinds of dirt and stains. You might give it a try. Love to know if it works!! Good luck!!!
