My 2-year-old took an ink pen to our leather ottoman. We've typically used babywipes to get off other things (like washable markers). They're not doing the trick this time. Anyone have any successful experiences with getting ink off of leather furniture? Thanks.

My dog got hold of a blue pen and carried it onto my cream leather sofa to chew it. Grrrrrrr...
My husband discovered it first and he tried EVERYTHING, but I think the Magic Eraser and Dawn dish soap did the best job on the ink. Good luck!

SOL-U-MEL. It’s a natural product manufactured by Melaleuca that gets EVERYTHING out. It took out permanent marker from our couch upholstery.

strongest rubbing alcohol you can find (industrial strengthnot the one from the supermarket but one from a home depot or someplace like that) When I worked on planes we used pure rubbing alcohol to get the pen marks (and there were many) out of the first class leather seats.
