One of my wonderful children has written on the alpaca glovebox in ballpoint pen - any ideas on getting it off?

From the queen of household stain removal, Shannon Lush;

Q.How can I remove blue ink stains from a leather lounge?

A. Wipe it with white spirits, sprinkle with talcum powder. Leave it to dry then brush it off.

or

Ink/ballpoint on linoleum

What to use: Cotton bud, dry cleaning fluid; of milk, old toothbrush; or kerosene, cotton ball

How: Dip a cotton bud in dry cleaning fluid and wipe it over the biro marks. You could also rot some milk in the sun. Scrub the solids into the stain with an old toothbrush, the wash out. If the ink is red, and the flooring is lino, apply kerosene with a cotton ball. Those with vinyl or self levelling plastic will have to live with the red. It's impossible to move!

Don't shoot the messenger......just copied it verbatim! Wink

Not sure it is meant to be a permanent addition Wink
