How Do You Get Ink off of Leather?
My 2 year old loves to draw and most of the time uses crayons and paper. this last week she drew a masterpiece on the leather console in our new car... she used a ball point ink pen. does anyone have suggestions on how to get the ink out without ruining the leather?

For ink stains on leather furniture and clothing, spray a paper towel or soft cloth with some WD-40 and wipe the stain lightly. Repeat several times until the ink is gone.
hope it helps you

My daughter did a wonderful art picture for us on our $2500.00 leather sofa! We had just bought it 3 weeks prior! What the leather compnay suggested was using hairspray, it worked like a charm! You can use just about any kind... Good luck.

Use non acetone polish remover. Make sure it is not acetone as that will melt the leather. Try under the dash first to make sure it will be ok. I have used it on clothing as well.
Good luck. G. W

Mr Clean Magic Eraser sponge is what i used to get ink off my white recliner when my two year old decided to "redesign" it! Worked like a champ. Did not damage the leather and only took a little elbow grease! This product works as advertized, I've taken ink, marker, and crayons right off the painted walls too!

Try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. My friend's son drew with ball point pen on her buff colored leather couch and this took it off. I also read another method somewhere, but I can't remember what it was! White vinegar and baking soda...maybe. Check google and maybe you'll find that method.

The only things that get ink off are alchol and hairspray. I'm not sure how that will effect the leather.

I know there are specific leather cleaning products out there and I'd probably go to PepBoys or an auto parts type store. I've always had great success removing ink with non-aerosol hairspray, sounds strange I know but it usually works. If you find something that works well you should post on here, I'm really interested to see what works! Good Luck, and I think it's commendable that you seem to be so in control and not freaking out on your babies choice of art medium!
