Getting pen ink off a wested
After coming home from uni today i noticed there was a small (but noticeable - to me) pen mark on the jacket. I dabbed a bit of water and rubbed it a bit and it has had no effect. Is there any way to safely remove the ink without damaging the jacket? it's not extremely noticeable, but I know it's there and it's driving me crazy =P
soured milk hey? And that doesnt hurt the leather at all? Would I have to do it within a certain amount of time before the ink possibly stains forever or can it be done at any time?
I'd have to work up a bit of courage to try that sorta stuff hehe. Thanks for the tip though - might try it in a few days.

There are all kinds of wonderful home remedies out there. I've heard of the milk test, too. In fact, I'd try that before using any chemicals. Afraid of what it might do to your jacket, though? Well, if it's cowhide, I don't think a little milk's gonna hurt it, you know?

i'm not sure how. I was at uni and i notice this little pen mark on the top. I might have accidently dropped my pen or brushed my pen against it when putting my pen away or something. It's quite a small mark and only noticeable in some light - and even then it's not that bad.
I think i'll leave it. Maybe it'll just 'soak' away after a while =P if not, it's not that bad at all.

red ball point pen ink can be liquefied with rubbing alcohol, use liberal amounts of H20 and paper towels to dab the ink off. Acetone will liquefy black ball point pen ink or just about anything else. Use carefully. regards, hanson.

I have the exact problem, when I got my jacket home from Wested I noticed a pen streek on it. I tried the milk thing but it didn't work. I posted something about this earlier but no luck. I called a few dry cleaners but they all said they may damage the jacket getting it off. If anyone know's a good product to use that won't damage the jacket I'd love to hear it.
