removing ink from vachetta

[dohamallrat]

Ink on the "suede"--are you speaking of the interior suede-like fabric (alcantara, I think)? If it's fountain pen ink, try Amodex. If it's ballpoint-type ink, try blotting (not scrubbing) with rubbing alcohol.

speaking of rubbing alcohol.......
iv used it before on a white leather...the ink is gone...
but after sometime the area turned into light-greenish color...

Any other tips? I have tried a white eraser but it didnt work. Is an "ink" eraser different?

I saw this http://www.dickblick.com/products/sanford-union-eraser/ I wonder if the grey half for pen will work.

^^Thank you, I did find this but its already set it.

6.For ink stains and other dirt, use a white eraser and erase the spot (do not use too much pressure - and check to see if the color is coming off). Usually if you get the ink right away you can remove all of it. Ink migrates into the leather fibers so once it is set, you need professional care.

Oh no!

You could also try a Magic Eraser and go extremely lightly.
