Looking for advice on how to remove ball point pen (blue) from white leather lounge?
Ink Removal
Removing ink from leather is not a cleaning problem.
Most ink removal products will not work simply because of the length of time the ink has been on the leather.
Ink is a dye and has re-coloured the leather (this is what it is meant to do)
The longer the ink has been on the leather the harder it is to remove because it soaks into the finish. Once it has soaked into the finish you have to use very strong products to remove it, which will also remove finish and pigment which then need replacing.
Pigment/Protected leather
If the ink is on a pigmented leather then the first thing you should try is an LTT Ink Stick. The fresher the ink the more chance you have of removing it. It is a good idea to have one in your house if you have pale leather and children!!!!
Old ink will be harder to remove than new ink and may mean resorting to solvents which will also remove the finish. This is probably best left to the experts
If an ink stick doesn't work a solvent based remover will need to be used and it may also remove finish and pigment so is best left to the experts.
You should also be using LTT Leather Protect on your suite. This will act like a 'scotchgard' and will make any more mishaps easier to clean off.
You will see many people recommending household products to remove ink – this is not recommended as most simply will not work, some may appear to work but the damage they cause can make a much bigger problem which is then un-repairable (even by a technician)
DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING:
Hairspray - This is very risky as it can make the matter far worse by spreading the ink over a bigger area and can sometimes then be impossible to fix.
Nail Varnish remover/solvents will remove the finish on the leather even if you cannot tell it is doing so and this will then need replacing, and alcohol may do the same depending on the strength of the finish on the leather.
Baby wipes – just about the worst thing you can use on a leather as they break down the finish and will eventually ruin it.
Milk or Toothpaste - these are just silly ideas that will leave sticky residues on the surface which will help to break down the finish on your leather.
Silicones/furniture polish – should not be used on leather. They will form a coating on the surface of the leather which will not allow any moisture to get to the leather itself and will eventually break all the finish down and cause it to crack.
Hide food will not remove ink and will leave residues on the leather which will attract dirt and oils.
Most leather cleaners will not remove ink unless a very good leather protector has been used on a regular basis.
Aniline Style Leather
As aniline style leathers are largely absorbent it means that the ink will have soaked straight into the leather itself. This makes it impossible to remove. No product will successfully remove the ink.
DO NOT try ink removing products on aniline style leathers as most will leave a greasy residue which will then cause another problem.
Because aniline style leathers are absorbent the ink will carry on moving through the leather and may become less obvious over time. Cleaning and protecting will also help to dissipate the ink.

Your mountain friends at Blue Ridge Trading Company - Online Shopping Mall would like to invite you to come out this July 4th to the fireworks display presented by Food City and Pepsi. The 24th annual Independence Day Fireworks Celebration on the grounds of Freedom Hall Civic Center, 1320 Pactolas Road, Johnson City, TN.
This years event will be held on Saturday, July 4th, and everyone is invited to join in the festivities. This is a rain or shine event. The fireworks starting time could be delayed if there is bad weather. Visitors will be allowed to wait inside the Freedom Hall arena in the event of severe weather. Since several thousand attend this celebration every year you are advised to show up early. There will be concessions available beginning at 3PM. If you like you can prepair your own meal at home and bring it along with your blankets or lawn chairs.
This years entertainment will be provided by Country singer Brinley Addington from Kingsport, Tn. Brinley's love of country music began as a 3 year old after a family trip to Nashville to see the Grand Ole Opry. At age 12, Brinley began singing at Church where he realized God's plan for his life: making music. Brinley has been recording since age 13 and has recorded both Country and Christian music projects while still in high school. Brinley is currently developing his professional performing skills while playing country music that people everywhere can relate to. For more about Brinley and to hear samples of his music visit his website at www.myspace.com/brinleyaddington
Another great act sharing entertainment duties is Greenbrier Bluegrass Band with Jimbo Whaley. Jimbo is a singer/songwriter, who performs with the bluegrass band Greenbriar, and was formerly with the band Pine Mountain Railroad, which he co-founded in 1988. Greenbrier is one of the most popular bluegrass bands in the East Tennessee area, but due to high demand elsewhere, they are now performing select dates around the country including California, Wisconsin and most recently a sold out Atlanta show with Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain. Don't miss the opportunity to see this band for free. For more on Jimbo and Greenbrier visit his website at www.JimboWhaley.com
Don't forget to register for the Dixie Stampede Pigean Forge Getway and Bristol Motor Speedwaw Racing Experience for August 19-23, 2009. You can do this at the Pepsi Fireworks website at www.pepsi-fireworks.com; Hope to see you at this family event.
