Removing ink mark on vinyl

[gimlimike]

Any ideas on how to remove an ink mark from the vinyl on my entrance door ?

I have removed ballpoint ink marks from Ultraleather furniture using alcohol and rubbing vigorously. At first it only removed the ink about 90%, but a few extra applications a few days apart got it all.

Try plain old rubbing alcohol. That's what worked for me. If nothing works, you could call one of the leather repair services such as Leather Repair South Florida | Leather Repairing in South Florida | Leather Repair Services In South Florida | Leather Repair Ft Lauderdale | Leather Repair Boca Raton. They specialize in recoloring surfaces to match existing.

I've had a business that cleans stuff for 27 years, sometimes you just own the stain.

If everything you tried has not made a dent this may be one of those stains you own.

There are some stains that leaving in the sun will bleach out. The sun is a wonderful cleaner.

As a last resort you could try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (wet the sponge first) I say last resort because what most people don't realize is it's basically sandpaper and will take off the finish on the vinyl.

If it's a flat door panel without any welting (that thin roping in the seams) it should be pretty easy to reskin yourself.

If it has welting and the panel is easily removable any canvas/vinyl shop would be able to reskin it pretty cheap.

Try orange waterless hand cleaner, the non-abrasive kind.

Wife has had good luck with mayonnaise.

carbona makes all kinds of different stain devil removers..Ive had great success with getting ball point ink off light color leather trim with their ink remover. I would bet it works fine on vinyl as well. Many grocery stores and walmart stock it. As always test an inconspicuous place first

clorox wipes

When I bought my 'new to me' coach, it had an ink mark on the back of the chair that sits right by the entrance door. Previous owner said he tried all kinds of stuff to remove it. I just used some Simple Green and one of those 'Mr Clean Magic Eraser pads'. A little rubbing and

I also found that those pads are the best thing to use on cleaning the regular dirt buildup on the rest of the vinyl seats and armrests. Those things are great, however they don't last very long.

WD-40 works good on vinyl

[obxmom]

Axe deodorant spray removed Sharpie permanent marker ink from an Italian leather sofa with no damage to the finish. (Thank goodness!) It might be worth a try.
Hope you let us know if you find something that works!

Thwnks everyone for your suggestions. I am working my way down the list and will let you know how I make out.

So far, Mayo-nada, Clorox Wipes- nada, WD40-nada
