How to remove ballpoint ink from white leather purse?

Answer 1

If you haven't tried it already, the Mr. Clean magic eraser may work. I've used it to remove marker marks from an off white leather sofa and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps, good luck!

Answer 2

Try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - it's like a miracle magic wand for cleaning. I can't believe all the stains it has removed. If that don't work try Goo Gone. You can get it at most Ace Hardware stores are Wal-Mart. Also using a very small amount of alcohol, or acetone, followed by aggressive pressure and blotting may remove most of it, but will cause the stain to bleed. Be careful though. Good luck.

Answer 3

I would try using hairspray and a thin cloth (similar in thickness to a t-shirt or polishing cloth). To prevent smearing - Place the cloth over the ink spot and then saturate the cloth with hairspray. In theory, the ink should lift off of the leather surface and adhere to the cloth. I have personally never tried this technique on leather - but it works great for white shirts etc.

Answer 4

Try spraying some hairspray on a soft cloth and rubbing it on the ink in circles. This worked for some light brown leather shoes I have. Then get the cloth a little wet and wipe the hairspray off.

Soak and rub, soak and rub, rinse with water. it may take some cycles yet isopropyl alcohol often does a stable pastime on ink. yet another determination is nail polish remover. it extremely is acetone and does an incredible pastime dissolving ink.
