If the mark is fresh, there is a better chance of cleaning it off but, if it has been there for more than three days, the area will have to be coloured. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore starting to remove pen marks, first identify the type of leather. Incorrect cleaning methods can increase the damage.
