test magic eraser in a small spot
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.
Try Mr Clean magic eraser pad with water. I had a similar experience
with 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!
I would try shoe polish.
I know I've gotten ball point ink off with hair spray.
Hairspray, with alcohol will work. Maybe try just plain rubbing alcohol, go to n inconspicuous area.
Call in professional Leather cleaners - Do you have insurance?
Maybe Milk on white bread as it takes ink out of leather.
You can try Borax and baking soda to remove stains from a white leather couch. To do so, combine 1 tablespoon of each with 100 milliliters of water. Apply it to the dye stain with a sponge or a soft-bristled toothbrush, working gently so as not to scratch the surface.
