Hi, I am wondering if any of you have ideas of how to get a mark off my cream colored leather couch without taking the color out of the leather at the same time. It is a blue mark. Just scrubbing on it doesn't work. I know hairspray works great on ballpoint pen on fabric, however, on this light colored leather, I just don't know! Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

What can I do next?

Try a little lemon pledge or olive oil. Just a little bit on the cloth and rub, neither one will damage the leather.

I have a cream colored love seat and I used comet and a sponge with a scrubber on one side. I figured if it wasn't going to come out any other way I wasn't going to do anything worse to it.

It came out. But this is a heavy leather that is very sturdy.

My old car had leather seat, kind of a cream color and one of the kids drew down the middle with a pen. Yeah they were marking that line you must not cross! Grrr I used Goof Off and it lightened it but never removed it completely. It did not effect the color of the leather.
