Removing ink stains from leather requires prompt attention for the best results. The longer the ink stain remains, the harder it is to get rid of. Don’t waste any time and follow these simple steps when dealing with an ink stain on your Coach bag.
Step 1: Start by testing for colorfastness
You should always test any cleaning solution on a small, unnoticeable area of leather before using it. This helps ensure that ink-removing solution won’t cause any damage to the material. Take a damp cloth, apply a few drops of the liquid cleaner on it, and rub it gently on a hidden area of leather. If the color doesn’t run or area isn’t discolored, then proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Use a mild dish soap and water solution
Mix a few drops of a mild dish soap with a cup of lukewarm water. Dip a soft cloth into mixture and squeeze out the excess liquid. Blot the stained area with the cloth in a gentle, circular motion until the stain has been removed. Do not rub or scrub area as this might damage the leather. Once the stain has been removed, blot away any remaining liquid with a dry cloth.
Step 3: Use a commercial leather cleaner
If the first two methods don’t work, you can try using a commercial leather cleaner for ink stains. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully. Usually these solutions need to be applied in a circular motion and wiped clean with a damp cloth. Blot the area again with a dry cloth to remove any excess liquid.
Step 4: Use rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover
If the first three solutions don’t work, try using rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. First, test the solution on a small, hidden area of the leather to make sure it won’t damage the material. Then, take a cotton swab and dip it in solution. Gently dab the stained area with the swab until the ink has been removed. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a damp cloth and then allow the area to air-dry.
Conclusion
Removing ink stains from your Coach bag doesn't have to be a daunting task. Follow the steps above and you can get it looking like new in no time!
