Tampa Upholstery Cleaning Company Shares Tips for Removing Ink from Leather Couch

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

I recently spoke to one of my Brandon carpet cleaning clients who is the proud parent of a high-energy youngster. She called me in a panic because he had accidentally stained her leather couch with ink from a ballpoint pen.

Why Should You Use a Home Cleaning Service? If you ever need to remove ink from a leather sofa, time is of the essence. A stain is easier to remove right after it happens because leather is porous. Using a home earning service ensures a healthy living environment for your family , make sure to check out the website and find the services https://www.housecleaningpeterborough.com.

One of the best ways to remove ink spots from a leather couch is to use undiluted rubbing alcohol and scopa elettrica, a cotton swab. Before you apply any cleaning product to a leather couch, try it on a part of the couch that is not visible to make sure that it will not discolor the leather, top 10 best oil for leather boots & furniture.

When you’re ready to start removing the stain, the steps are simple:

•    Moisten the swab with alcohol and lightly rub it over the ink stain to transfer the ink to the swab.

•    Repeat until the ink stain is gone.

•    Wipe the area with a damp cloth to rinse away any remaining alcohol.

•    The alcohol will dry the leather, so you may want to use the leather conditioner recommended by the couch’s maker to restore the leather.

If the ink stain does not come out, call a professional upholstery cleaning company.
