Ink on Ultra Leather sofa

Help! Our granddaughter got ballpoint ink on our ultra leather sofa in our Adventurer. I've tried everything to get it out and nothing is working. Tried leather cleaner,alcohol, hairspray,soft scrub,Mr.Clean magic eraser,shaving cream and vinegar. Does anyone know of something to get this ink out? I would greatly appreciate any advise on this.
  • Amodex is a cream that removes ink stains and marks. You can get one ounce container on Amazon for $6.95. WD40 removes ink (even from vinyl doll faces), but I'd be scared to use it on upholstery. You could try it in a small hidden area (underside of a seat cushion?) to see if it leaves a mark.

    We used Amodex to get ink off of leather car seats.

    Amodex Ink & Stain Remover is a lanolin-based soap in a cream formula. There are no product ingredients listed other than lanolin. Amodex Ink & Stain Remover is a lanolin-based soap in a cream formula. There are no product ingredients listed other than lanolin. Lanolin is a non-toxic yellow, waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals, usually sheep. It is often found in skin lotions and has industrial uses as a lubricant, emulsifier and water repellent.

    Amodex is sold as a stain remover for any type of ink from fountain pen to stamp pads to whiteboard markers to permanent ink. It is also recommended for food stains, blood, crayon, lipstick and cosmetics, hair dye, tree sap, tar and most pet stains (doesn't work on cat urine). Amodex will not remove rust or mildew and mold stains. Not only can Amodex be used on all types of fabric in clothes and upholstery - including leather, it can also be used on laminate, wallpaper, linoleum, paint, plastic, wood, appliances and all types of countertops.
