By accident my granddaughter had a leaky pen and it went on my Leather Sofa

We tried everything leather wipes/wet wipes/vanish

Looked on the Net and it said spray HAIR SPRAY onto a piece of Cotton Wool and wipe off pen marks

well hey presto it came off like magic.

Also worked on a bag of mine which I was going to throw away,

How many children have accidentally drawn on furniture normally they would be sitting at a table but you cant watch 24/7, now you have the answer

What type of hair spray was it - was it firm hold?

DD any hair spray, but it was amazing how it worked, apparently its the stickiness which lifts the pen marks

years ago when my boys were small and they got pen marks on items they had to be thrown away (not the boys ) )

Harmony is best No1, it stops the sofa getting all stiff where you sprayed ;)

hair spray works on fabrics too for getting marks off.
