Leather Ink Remover Kit

Q. Is Leather Ink Remover suitable for use on all of my leather items?

A. No, the kit is only suitable for the most common type of leather: pigmented/top coat leather which is a non-absorbent painted leather. It is suitable for removing ink from leather items such as leather sofas, chairs, car seats & interiors, handbags, shoes and clothing.

However, if your item is made from either aniline or pull-up leather, which are very prone to staining due to their structural properties and treatment in the tannery, you should use our Leather Degreaser to remove the ink stain.

Q. Is Leather Ink Remover capable of removing all types of Ink stain on leather, even Permanent Marker?

A. Absolutely, our Leather Ink Remover Kit will tackle any type of Ink on leather including: ballpoint pen/biro, fountain pen Ink, permanent marker and felt tip pen. As with all stains, the older it is the harder it gets to remove it, if your stain is over a couple of weeks old, it can still be removed, but may need more than one treatment to completely rid your item of the ink stain.

Q. Will Leather Ink Remover damage my leather?

A. Our Leather Ink Remover Wipes are formulated to be a powerful and effective ink remover, while remaining as gentle as possible to the structure and finish of the leather itself. However, with over-zealous wiping the finish can, in some cases, start to come away. To avoid this, follow all instructions carefully, and keep an eye on the leather while treating the stain. If you observe the colour of the leather transferring onto the wipe, simply stop and allow the area to dry before trying again.

In cases where accidental damage has been caused to the leather or colour, you can quickly and easily repair small areas of colour loss with the use of our Leather Repair Kit. Using this kit will allow you to repair any colour loss as a result of the ink removal process.

Q. Can I clean and maintain my leather items as normal after treating an ink stain with Leather Ink Remover?

A. Yes, after treating the ink stain, just allow the area to dry and it can be cleaned and maintained in the same manner as it was before the ink stain occurred. We recommend applying Leather Protection Cream to the area, in order to protect from future staining.

Our Leather Care Kit provides everything you need for this in one package and is perfect for cleaning and protecting all your leather items.

Q. Will there be any visible trace of the ink left once the stain is removed from the leather?

A. In the majority of cases the ink stain is completely removed, and no trace is left on the leather whatsoever. In some cases, where the ink has been on the leather for a long time before being treated or if it is particularly stubborn or ingrained, there can be minor traces left behind.

In this instance, you can wait for the area to dry and simply apply another Leather Ink Remover Wipe again to try and remove the remaining ink or, if the remaining stain is very faint, you also have the option of using our Complete Leather Repair Kit to match the surrounding colour of the leather and cover the residual ink stain. This will blend the area in with the rest of the leather and render it invisible.
