Try turpentine but you MUST wash it afterwards with neat detergent!

luke warm milk may well help shift it! (works on clothes!!)

dot 5 brake fluid will lift ballpoint pen easily......more than a little harmful to other things though. I did a full 3 piece leather suite with it bit by bit, remoisturised it, good as new!!

Try Hair spray on a cloth this has worked for me on leather
Best of luck

Helllo,

I just researched this same exact topic. Try this:

Use a dry cleaning solution. Then, mix a mild detergent with luke warm water and blot the ink out. Good Luck!

Acetate like the acetate in nail polish remover will take it right out. I would wash it out after that with a little detergent in warm water. This will get even the nasties blobs out.

Nail Polish remover will remove the ink from the dryer drum. You may want to use an sos pad as well for the thick sections. Be sure to clean off remover with a wet cloth after. Good as new. Note: Nail polish remover will also remove permanant marker ink as well from almost anything.

Acetone, in the form of nail polish remover just worked for us.
