Ink Stain on Leather

RE: Ink Stain on Leather Post By Thea (Guest Post) (08/07/2008) This is the truth. And, I hope it helps someone. I purchased a new Cole Haan leather bag and TODAY was my first time carrying it. I just arrived home about 1 hour ago and noticed a black ink spot. First of all toothpaste did not work. However, I used the walgreens brand hand sanitizer and it REMOVE THE INK COMPLETLY in three different spots on the same handbag/purse.

You can also use nail polish. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Stain on Leather Post By Stephanie (Guest Post) (08/06/2008) You can use toothpaste. It works pretty good just leave it on the stain for a few minutes, rub it off and you can barely see the stain.

I used hairspray on a q-tip to try to remove ball point ink and it made matters worse. Finally, after prayer to the good Lord Jesus, I pulled out a tub of Quick 'n Brite. They say on the tub that ink on leather is usually not removable, and to be careful using their product on unfinished leather, suede, etc. So I put a tiny bit of the Quick 'n Brite butter in an inconspicuous area, and it seemed fine. Eventually I used a damp toothbrush to apply a teeny amount of Quick 'n Brite butter full strength to the stain & I brushed in circles. It lifted out the dark residue from the hairspray, and as I dried it with a towel >> it looks great. I'm very pleased.

Alcohol took it right off. It was dark blue pen on white leather seat.

I think that's the ingredient in all the above solutions that make each one work. I just got an ink stain out of my car's tan leather seats with alcohol, a cotton ball and a little elbow grease! All Gone! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Stain on Leather Post By susan (Guest Post) (03/29/2008) I just tried the antibacterial soap (Purel) and it took off some of the finish and faded the colour of my brown leather sofa so use this method with caution. Also, if you have children, keep the Purel away from them because I've read that even swallowing a small bit of it could cause them to become "drunk" because there is a high alcohol content in it, that's why it dries so fast!

It not only cleaned the leater but it has a leather conditioner and uv protectant in it. It worked great. Usually anyplace that sells cowboy boots or western wear will have this.

Marianna Answers: RE: Ink Stain on Leather the anit-bacterial gel did remove the ink mark off my green couch, although it took a layer of the leather off... now the couch is kindof peeling where I put the gel.. and you can notice a little discoloration.. but probably better than before with the ink stains... just be careful before you try this and maybe try on a spot in the back or something.

(08/28/2006) By Donna RE: Ink Stain on Leather I used a combo of the anti-bacterial hand gel and hairspray to get almost all of the ball point pen ink stain off of my tan leanther sofa. Then, I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser soaked in hot water to finish the job. The hairspray seemed to also start to remove the grain of the leather, so I would use it sparingly and with caution.

RE: Clean Ink Stains Off Tan Leather You are very welcome Kim. I learned this hint quite by accident at work. I am a janitor and clean banks, Dr's ofices etc. I was trying to remove adhesive from a glass door and just happened to grab the antibacterial gel. It worked like a charm! Now I try it on just about every stain or sticky mess I can find. I've used it on many different surfaces and it hasn't harmed any of them. So glad I could help. (10/26/2004) By jeangnome46 RE: Clean Ink Stains Off Tan Leather The antibacterial gel worked wonderful on my mother's tan leather couch. She had purchased expensive leather cleaning solutions and nothing had worked until we tried the gel. Thanks. (05/24/2005) By DCL RE: Clean Ink Stains Off Tan Leather You could try a little hairspray. Spray some into the cap and using a tissue or cotton wool, dab gently and the ink stain should come out. I tried this on my cream leather sofa, worked great. (07/06/2005) By karen RE: Clean Ink Stains Off Tan Leather Thanks so much for the hairspray tip.
