Removing permanent marker stains from faux leather can be a bit tricky, but there are some additional methods you can try:
Nail polish remover or acetone: Dampen a soft cloth or cotton ball with nail polish remover or acetone (make sure it's acetone-based), and gently dab the stained area. Be cautious not to rub too hard, as it may damage the faux leather. Test this method on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.
Hair spray: Some people have had success using hairspray to remove marker stains. Spray a small amount of hairspray directly onto the stain and gently blot it with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing too vigorously.
Isopropyl alcohol: If rubbing alcohol didn't work, try using a higher concentration of isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%). Apply it to a soft cloth and gently dab the stain.
White vinegar and water: Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water, dampen a cloth with the solution, and gently blot the marker stain.
Magic eraser: Instead of Mr. Clean eraser, try using a melamine foam sponge (commonly known as a magic eraser). Moisten the sponge slightly and gently rub the stain. Be careful not to use too much force, as it can abrade the faux leather.
Commercial leather cleaner: Look for a faux leather or vinyl cleaner specifically designed to remove stains. Follow the instructions on the product carefully.
Remember to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the purse first to ensure it doesn't cause any damage or discoloration. Also, try to act quickly as fresh stains are often easier to remove than older ones. Patience and gentle cleaning are crucial to avoid further damage to the faux leather surface.
