how do u get ink pen out of suede, leather jackets?

Question

i have blue,black,and red ink on my new suede, leather jacket and would like to restore to the perfect condition again. please help if u can..

Answer 1

Hair spray takes ink stains out of cloth and carpet.(Try this on the underside first, "just in case"). I haven't yet had to use it on suede.
Also, gently sanding suede with real fine sandpaper will clean it up good as new. I have used this method on shoes before and it works well. Again, I have not tried to remove ink with it.
If you have any doubts at all; and especially if this is not ball point ink you are speaking of, have it professionally cleaned. It may be costly, but so is the cost of replacing the jacket.
Good luck to you.

Answer 2

Ink is about the worst stain on suede and leather. Do not use any type of liquid on it because it will make it even worse. I would take it to a dry cleaner who specializes in suede and leather.

Answer 3

Although the suggestoin of hairspray is a good one for cloth, that is subsequently run through a washing machine, or auto mechanics hand cleaner, these may cause further stains in leather, especially suede.

Your best bet is a professional dry cleaner. It's cheaper then replacing the jacket. They'll be usually be upfront if they don't think it will come out.

Answer 4

I agree with JMiller's answer....Hairspray works. Works to get ink out of a lot of things.
