Removing Biro Ink from Vinyl

Sorry, I know this isn't Mumsnet, but my Wife is due home in 30 minutes and I let my son use a ball point pen which he deployed on the vinyl dining room chair seats!

I've tried panel wipe and white spirit to no avail. Am considering brake cleaner as an act of desperation, but fear it might affect material.

Try rubbing alcohol wipes, just don’t agitate the surface too hard.

You should see the ink on the wipes. TheThunder Rolls🇬🇧🇺🇸

My Mrs says try hand sanitizer.
But we do not accept any responsibility if you do and it all goes wrong.

Give a local upholsterers a call, they are bound to have a solution as it won’t be the first time it’s happened. If it can’t be removed, they still may be able to re cover at a lower cost than replacing.

Take this as a warning, before it becomes much worse.
Don't give him the Landrover keys, EVER.

I'm back from the afterlife. Rubbing alcohol/surgical spirit did the job. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Obviously entirely your fault. What were you thinking. You never listen. What would you do without her..

Always found eau de Cologne to be very effective at removing Biro
