Re: new white leather suite+ink!!
Try baby wipes, usually work for me for cleaning anything. Plus if they are sensitive enough for babies skin i doubt they will damage leather(but dont quote me on that i may be wrong).

Re: new white leather suite+ink!!
Newspaper ink is mineral oil based so you might want to try something for removing oil. You might find that WD40 works well. Try it on the back of the suite somewhere you cant see it if it stains at all. Spray some onto a cloth and try wiping the test area, if it does not mark it then try the same way on the ink. Then clean the WD40 off with the baby wipes . In fact WD40 is great at cleaning many things. Yes I know it is greasy and needs cleaning off afterwards but it really is good for oily or sticky gluey type stains.
Don't forget to let us know your results so we all know for when we do it.

Re: new white leather suite+ink!!
Baby wipes or make-up removing wipes - I spilt paint on my leather sofa and the wipes were the only thing that brought it off without stripping the colour or staining.

Re: new white leather suite+ink!!
i bought some magic sponges from the pound shop, you get 4 in a pack, all you do is run them under the tap and they wipe almost all pen ink pencil feltip pens away off most surfaces and are great for cleaning you white goods, they come up so clean, just to say for next time if it happens again

They sell all this leather cleaning stuff and baby wipes do a better job.

A bit of Vodka on a cloth, if the stain is still there afterwards who cares? You'll be too busy sucking the cloth!
You don't mind black teeth do you?
