Removing Pen Ink from Leather

To remove pen ink from leather, try to get to the spot as quickly as possible. Dry ink is harder to remove than wet. Blot the stain with a soft dry cloth or cotton ball, to lift as much of the ink as possible. Moisten another cloth, with water, and clean lightly with circular movements. Dry the surface with a soft cloth. Try a little saddle soap or another leather cleaner, but first read the label regarding its safety for use on your particular kind of leather. You may also try removing the stain with lukewarm water and shampoo. If all else fails, Contact the manufacturer for a remedy for the type of ink used - the company may sell its own solvent.
