How To Clean Ink Off Patent Leather

Hey guys! OMG I need your help! I got this blue marker/ink stain on my WHITE patent Rio and ugh its NOT coming off!! Its RIGHT in front too near the clasp and totally noticable!! I tried using soap and water, Apple care conditioner, Apple care cleaner and none of these worked!! I dont want to ruin the white patent leather ... any suggestions? I know some tpfers try the magic eraser and baby wipes but would it be safe on the patent?

Thanks so muchhh!!! :sad:

I would definitely test an inconspicuous spot with the alcohol. Patent leather is plastic coated leather, and I don't know what the alcohol would do to the plastic.

thanks for all the tips ladies!! i tried the rubbing alcohol...hesitantly of course but I put on a brave face and did it and WHABAM!...nothing happened...the shine of the patent leather seems fine and unharmed but the ink is still there...baahahhhh...this is driving me insane!!! i didnt know that patent leather had its own remover...anyone know where to get one? if not I think I will just get it to a cobbler...but I consider that a last resort and dont know any good ones here in south cali to trust giving my JC over to...

Hey Bichon Lover...I am in CA but definitely not in San Jose area so that kind of sucks...

Ill keep trying ladies and keep you updated Im sure other patent lovers could use some tips as well as white handbag carriers...

SIGH...THANKS a million Bichon Lover and Stinkerbelle!!! I guess I will just have to be extra careful from now on...It IS still wearable but its also definitely noticable because the ink is like a blue/black color...I tried to hide it by getting it to "runche" right so it does hide it a little because the leather does that folding thing so it looks like a shadow now...oh wells...thanks again for all your help ladies!! Ill just have to wear it with more style and hope the light catches the leather the right way all the time hahaha :yes:
