dose anyone have tip to get pen (ball point pen) off a cream leather sofa its only afew days old??   also the the lil one  has done a few scribbles on the table need tips to remove these can anyone     

baby wipes are your best bet im afraid

  thanks ill give a try      ive heard hair spray may work but i aint sure about that???

I don't know about baby wipes, but hairspray does usually work on leather. Just leave it on a few seconds then wipe it off.

As for the table: what's it made from? If it's melamine, the hairspray might work on that too. If it's wood, it'll be trickier - but not impossible! - depending on how deeply it's marked.

hairspray for the win with this. when we got a brand new cream leather suite a good few years ago my son, who would have been about 1½-2 at the time decided he was colouring it in in blue biro.

I used everything under the sink on it with no joy, then found a post about hairspray online somewhere. tried it and it worked! SWMBO never found out and I can still walk upright!

You can actually see it dissolving the ink, go over it afterwards with a babywipe to get rid of the stickiness and that's that!

Hi, I'm new to Freecycle.     This is brilliant advise about pen/leather sofa.  I'd never have thought of hairspray.  Cheers, Dee
