The removal of ink marks from leather upholstery, specifically sofas, is a common household challenge. Ink stains, especially those from ballpoint or felt-tip pens, can be particularly difficult to eliminate due to the porous nature of leather. Success in stain removal often depends on the type of ink, the age of the stain, and the specific type of leather involved.
Addressing these stains promptly and effectively preserves the aesthetic appeal and longevity of leather furniture. Untreated ink can penetrate deeper into the leather’s fibers, making it increasingly difficult to remove over time and potentially causing permanent discoloration. Maintaining the integrity of the leather also protects its value and prolongs its lifespan.
