How do I remove dye transfer from my white leather sofa safely?

The dye came from brown suede pillows. I've tried leather cleaner/conditioner with no results.

Try hair spray. Test in an inconspicuous spot first. -

Hello! It helps to know what type of leather you have because Aniline leather can take a more heavy-duty cleaner followed by a leather protector while Nubeck leather takes a light touch using a Nubuck cleansing cloth. There are products out there, like Leather Stain Remover or Leather Master Leather Dye Transfer Remover and Magic Eraser; however, anyone of these has the potential to cause additional damage.My advice would be to call a professional.If the couch is fairly old and you want to take the risk, you could even try toothpaste -- try scrubbing out the stain with a toothbrush. Or try applying a bit of nail polish remover to a cotiton ball and then rubbing out the stain.- See 1 previous

Try Mr Clean magic eraser pad with water. I had a similar experiencewith our white sofa, tried every leather cleaner, any type cleaner, even a non abrasive cleaners -- no luck. A plumber suggested the Magic Eraser, it worked! -
