My children's school work got wet and the ink transferred to my light beige leather car seats. I could read the school work on my seats. I went to this site quickly before I left for work. I grabbed a few items suggested: alcohol, hairspray, soap and worked on the spots at red lights.

Thank you. Magic Eraser did it. Blue ink from waitresses pen when signing the check which got all over me and thankfully only a small area on my new light tan leather purse. I'm going to also rub a little leather polish as suggested to coat it. Love The Magic.
Please be advised, as I found out the hard way using Magic Eraser on other surfaces, that it has very finely ground pumice in it, so its basically a very fine SANDPAPER. I noticed when I cleaned a door I had that the paint was on the sponge when I was done. Same thing happened when I used it to clean an orange silicone phone cover...sponge was orange, and the finish became MATTE. I am currently trying the chapstick on my beige leather car seat after alcohol didnt work and will GENTLY try the magic eraser next.
I have some stains I haven't been able to get out. I'm going to try this today! Thanks!
If you have children, or really at all, you should not use the Magic Eraser. The reason it cleans so well is that it contains formaldehyde, which is a carcinogen. When you wipe off your bathroom fixtures, floors or toys, it leaves traces of the chemical behind. A lot of the commercial cleaners we use are very toxic...as highlighted by the CBC program Marketplace.
Natural is the way to go. Vinegar, baking soda, or lemon are all safe and smell much better than any bottled meadow.
Thanks, I had no idea! I just posted that I was told there was also finely ground pumice in it and that it is basically a very very fine sandpaper. I discovered that when it took the white paint off my door and changed the sheen to matte, and then when it turned orange after I cleaned an orange silicone phone cover. But formaldehyde is a REAL NO-NO. My daughter is pregnant and stays overnight with us when she visits sometimes, so I am glad you informed us!
actually Magic Erasers DO NOT contain formaldehyde. See here www.snopes.com/
My grand daughter just used my lipstick all over her face and my white leather chair. I got in out in minutes with lemon and bicarbonate soda...hurray!
I tried using magic eraser on my purse that has ball point ink on it. I didn't touch it! I'm gonna try hairspray!
magic eraser works,also on newspaper stains on leather recliners!
Tks for this tip. I used Magic Eraser on my green leather bag which had blue ball point pen on it. Totally removed it and the green leather was fine.
Thank you....thank you for sharing!!!!!!!

Magic eraser didn't work for my blue ink spot
Regretfully, while I love magic eraser, it absolutely did not work on ink stains on my couch.
where did you go to buy this product? supermarket, or at bunnings warehouse?
Yes magic erasers are great, just be careful it will take out the color. I found this out the hard way.
Did not work at all destroyed it
Mr. Clean eraser did not work, the stain is still on my purse but it also has a faded patch. It took off the color on my leather. Use with care or don't use it on leather at all.
Omg, my daughter just wrote with a ball point ink pen,,all over my cream leather chair. I am going to go get the magic eraser.
Your post about the Magic Eraser saved my life! A broken blue pen got several big spots on my light gray leather seat. The Eraser was the only method that worked! I was able to get it cleaned before my husband saw the mess.Thank you!
Yep! Mr. Clean Eraser did the job for me on a nice leather purse. Thanks for the tip!!
I tried Mr clean magic eraser on ink scribblings on my cream colored car seat and did not work need a better answer than that
I tried the Magic Eraser to get some red ink off my fine leather car seats and it totally worked! Thanks for posting!
I wouldnt use the magic Eraser, it removed the color from my Michael Kors leather wallet
Magic Eraser is the best cleaner that I have found for anything. They are a little pricey for all of the ways that I use them, but they revolutionized cleaning bathrooms and removing stains!
