Remove ink stains from your leather corner suite

This question came to our mailbox today:

“Hi, I have a beige leather corner suite and my husband somehow managed to get ink on it. How can I remove it without damaging the leather?”

Well, not only the leather corner suite but all types of similar pieces of furniture such as a leather sofa or a leather couch require special attention when it comes to cleaning. You should always be special careful when you pick your cleaner so it is not to abrasive as the leather might get damaged. A clean cloth with some soap and water will do the rick in most cases, but when the stains are just too difficult to remove, you should use special cleaners and special techniques.

Ink stain

The most common stains are probably ink stains. It often happens you are writing something down while sitting on your leather corner suite or perhaps you are just solving a crossword puzzle and get distracted by something. Your pen falls on the suite and leaves an ugly ink stain. This can not be removed with only soap and water, you will have to use a special trick to remove it.

Some stores will try to sell expensive cleaners for each type of stains but they are usually not needed because they can be removed with some rather uncommon methods and with use of things you probably already have at home.

Do you perhaps have some sort of hairspray at home? It doesn’t even have to be some expensive brand, ordinary hairspray will do just fine. Just spray it on the ink stain and wait a couple of minutes. Then take a clean cloth and wipe it dry. This will do the trick and remove the ink stain from your leather corner suite or any other type of leather furniture you might own.
