INK STAINS
For fresh ink stains, apply an approved leather ink remover for finished leathers. We recommend Perrone’s Ink and Stain Remover (#IR-102) to a soft lint-free rag or cotton swab and gently agitate stain in a random circular motion. Be sure to move to a clean area of cloth or swab as to not re-apply any ink that may have been removed. If stain is untouched, try a soft nylon brush and re-agitate. If stain is still untouched, re-apply Perrone’s Ink Remover (#IR-102) and allow to stand for up to 24 hours. Repeat removal process.

For dried ink stains on finished leathers, the only way to fully remove this type of stain is to cut into the clear top or color coat of the leather (see diagram above). We recommend that you have this done by a trained leather repair technician. Although not common, we may be able to refer you to one in your area. Contact us.

GUM
Use Perrone’s Deep Cleaner (#DC-232) in conjunction with mechanical removal of gum. Carefully apply Deep Cleaner (#DC-232) to gum and agitate with soft nylon brush or lint-free rag. A pallet knife can also be used (carefully) to mechanically remove gum from leather after softened by Deep Cleaner (#DC-232). Be sure not to cut into leather finish during this process. If additional gum residue remains, follow-up with another application of Perrone’s Deep Cleaner for leather and agitate with clean soft cloth or brush. Wipe Excess.

DAMAGED LEATHER
For damaged leather such as scratches, rub-through of finish or peeling, cracking of finish we recommend that you contact a trained leather repair technician. Although not common, we may be able to refer you to one in your area. Contact us.
