Cleaning Ink, Felt-Tip and Ball-Point Stains on a Leather Sofa

To get rid of the most difficult stains, Valmour puts several products at your disposal. Sometimes, to obtain a satisfactory result, different increasingly powerful products might be necessary :

- Begin by using the Stain Remover Ball-Point AVEL. Take extra care to apply only onto the stains, if necessary use a q-tip.

- If the result is not satisfactory, try again with the Rénomat. Its effectiveness depending also on the type of finishing of the leather, the stain can be resistant, in which case it is possible to use the Stripper Saphir. It is the radical solution by which you also risk to eliminate the original colour, as with the use of Polish Thinner LOUIS XIII which is made of 99° pure alcohol .

If the treatment results in a discoloration, it is necessary to re-pigment the leather. If only a small area is concerned, consult the advice cards "Re-colouring a scratch", otherwise "Re-pigmenting a leather sofa".

Remarks: For certain only lightly impregnated stains, the Cleaning Regenerating Soap AVEL might prove sufficient.
