How can I remove an ink stain from my laminated table top?

Question

An ink pen leaked onto my table. I used fingernail polish remover which only spread it (so now it's bigger} and removed laminate on spot. Did I ruin the table or is there a solution? If you give me tip on how to remove ink how would I restore the laminate?

I'm not sure if this is fixable. A tablecloth may be the solution.

I don't suppose you are insured for accidental damage? Or purchased it recently with a credit card? Try Cream Kitchen Cleaner - or Barkeepers friend or Wet Wipes. Soak up with Kitchen Roll. Might be able to disguise hole in Laminate by colouring base of hole with nail varnish or paint the colour of the wood finish and applying layers of varnish on to fill hole...........

My mother swore by shaving cream. It got India ink out of our car seat. Spray it on, rub it in and repeat until gone.

The acetone might have dissolved the finish allowing the ink to mix in to the laminate. But as a general rule, rubbing alcohol is an ink solvent and is not very reactive on plastics and vinyls and fabrics

I too would try rubbing alcohol and maybe a light rub with a Magic Eraser.

You might also try hydrogen peroxide. I've used it a number of times.
