How to clean mark from Ball Point Pen
Duane,
Just noticed a mark from a ball point pen on my H&M sofa that I got from you not too long ago. The culprit is most likely my 4 year old son, but of course he will totally deny it :-). What is the best way to mitigate the damage? I have the Leather Solutions kit that I got from you. I have not tried to clean anything yet - thought I would check here first before attempting anything.
The leather is Hyde Park Earth burnished.
Attached is a pic.
Thank you

Hi Barath,
Ink is tricky to remove, because you have to dissolve it, and that also can remove the color of the leather. There are ink remover chemicals, but you need a very fine, very small artist paint brush and have to stay almost exactly within the ink line. Then when it dissolves you have to blot it carefully. If you rub it with a cloth, its game over. A steady hand and lots of patience required. Or live with it, that doesn't look too bad actually.
I would suggest you can Pam at Leather Solution International and she will get you fixed up with the correct product. http://www.leathersi.com/
