Hi Sylvia, I'm not an expert or anything but I've had success using orange glow solvent. Or goo be gone solvent. They both work by using citris oil to break up oil & wax then you can blot the stain till it comes off. Good luck! PS You can also go to queen of clean website for more tips.

Try Rubbing alcohol...once my 1 1/2 year old took a ball point pen to my parents brand new leather chair, and the rubbing alcohol removed it....best of luck!

My darling 2 year old decided that my cream leather sofa was the perfect place for him to draw with an ink pen that daddy had left on the side, anyway I put some antibacterial hand gel on it and let it sit for about 10 seconds and wiped it off, thankfully that got it out!

Goodluck!

I would try a product called Soillove. It is available in the grocery store(I think Fry's). It is in a green bottle in the laundry isle and is not exspesive at all. If it doesn't work for that it will work on most any stain.

I have also used antibacterial hand soap on pen marks as well.

good luck.

I know of this amazing product called Sol-U-Mel that removes ink from most every surface. I've not tried it on leather (never had that happen yet :) ) but I bet it would work. E-mail me and we can talk.

Basic H2 from Shaklee should work, just rub in it, let sit, rub again and rinse. If you would like a sample to try on your wallet, let me know and I'd be happy to send a sample to you.
Good luck!

HI! My son got ink on our couch (it's kind of leather/suede) I used hairspray (non-aerosol) and a wet rag and it came right out! Our couch has scotch guard on it though so I don't know if this will help you or not. I've also heard hairspray works when you get ink on clothes. Good luck!
