Getting Blue pen marks off of Leather?

[Texrob1]

Sometime yesterday someone in the house took a Blue ball point pen to my favorite Tan Leather Recliner (I have narrowed it down to my wife or my 21 Month old, still investigating) Does anyone know of a product that will get this off? I tried the Lexol I use on my boots,but it just made it look like clean leather with blue pen marks on it! Any suggestions appreciated.

Clorox wipes did a real nice job cleaning the ink off my tan Lariat leather, then re-treat the leather. HTH

Thanks JR, I am sure the wife has some of those around the house.

Try rubbing alcohol. It usually will take ink out.

Well between the clorox wipes,hairspray (Wife's idea) & the rubbing alcohol the ink is pretty much gone,thanks for the idea's guys! BTW My wife saw my original post naming her a suspect,she didn't think it was funny,I guess I will be sleeping in my truck for awhile... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]
