Ball Point Pen Marks on Imitation Leather (vinyl?)

RE: Ball Point Pen Marks on Imitation Leather (vinyl?) Post By Sarah (Guest Post) (06/12/2008) I have a white imitation leather purse and every time I wipe it with a wet wash cloth it turns a bluey color. Does anyone know why this is and how I can prevent it? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ball Point Pen Marks on Imitation Leather (vinyl?) Post By ahmed (Guest Post) (05/27/2008) What type of hairspray?

We had ball point pen marks on an electronic drum kit (the drum pads) and a baby wipe took it right off with not too much scrubbing.

I sprayed to cover the pen marks and then rubbed gently to take them all out. I rinsed with a clean rag and it looks great! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ball Point Pen Marks on Imitation Leather (vinyl?)

Bonnie Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ball Point Pen Marks on Imitation Leather (vinyl?) Post By Susan (Guest Post) (04/15/2005) I used to work for a haircare franchise. We always used hairspray for ink on clothing. Saturate the ink mark, use much elbow grease, and repeat as many times as necessary. Persistence. It WILL come out. Not sure if this will work on the exam table, but may be worth a try. Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ball Point Pen Marks on Imitation Leather (vinyl?)

Rub it into the ink and go do something else leave on the ink for about 5-10min. rub off with soft cloth or whatever cleaner you normally use. I've also removed permanent marker from countertops with it, adhesives, and chewing gum from a carpet. It will also remove black shoe marks from tile floors, and scuff marks from walls. I now keep a bottle with me at all times and when you're done cleaning you can use it on your hands. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ball Point Pen Marks on Imitation Leather (vinyl?)
