Ball point pen ink on Alpaca

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

Rub their nose on it till it comes off, if the ink comes off Thumbs Up If only their nose comes off they won't do it again!

Surprised you've never had to do this before VA Wink

I've removed ballpoint with those isopropyl alcohol wipes before now, but you need to be quick. A colleague of mine's wife runs a cleaning firm apparently and her idea is to use hairspray or deodorant but it must have alcohol in it, which is why the wipes work I suppose.... Confused

Don't see why not... seems to be alcohol that does what it needs to.

Why have you got a bottle of vodka in the car? Wink

The only thing we have tried with any success on our vinyl medical chairs is Baby oil.

What you do on your "vinyl medical chairs" is your own business, what about getting rid of VA's ballpoint ink! Wink

Baby Oil on vinyl chairs - the mind boggles, do people slip off easily when applied?

Honest give it a try, alcohol almost certainly won't shift it,try Baby Oil and if it doesn't work at least you can have some fun with it up the OXO Tower Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

These are the chairs I sell to hospitals:
