Pen Mark Removal

Hi Moms! I just found ink marks on my brand new leather bag. Any suggestions how to remove?

Thanks in advance! D.

What can I do next?

I'm with the make up remover, nail polish remover works great for scuffs on shoes, pen on walls, etc.. I would NOT use the remover on the leather though.

As weird as this may sound, eye makeup remover. The oily kind. I use my MaryKay eye makeup remover to get tons of stuff off. Anything sticky on our laminate floors, gunk off my leather jacket, etc. It's scary that what we use to remove makeup can remove so much stuff from everything else. Good luck.

hair spray and then a baby wipe.

Many people swear by using such agents as perfume and hairspray to remove ink from leather. My sister used Windsong perfume on pen marks on her leather furniture and it came right off. Other people swear by the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

I use Neutrogena face soap to get pen off of my leather furniture. I'm sure it would work on your bag! Good luck!

A lot of the products recommended work because of their alcohol content. For best results, go ahead and use the real stuff...rubbing alcohol (isopropyl). Try using it on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it won't discolor your particular type of leather.

Hairspray has always worked for me!

Melaleuca has a product called Sol-u-mel that removes everything...permanent marker, paint, nail polish, EVERYTHING. I swear by it.

If all else fails, go to Home Depot or Walmart and get a product called Goof Off- in the paint section. This takes ink off of leather. Good luck!
