Pen Ink Removal from Leather

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I accidentally got some black ink pen marks on my beige leather couch. Soap and water has not helped at all. Do you have any suggestions?

Signed,

Dear Pen Peeve,

Try using isopropyl rubbing alcohol. But, first dab some to test a hidden area of the couch to make sure the leather color stays the same.

If the test area is fine, then put some isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and dab it on the pen mark. Keep dabbing until the pen mark disappears.
