Avel Ink Stain Remover – rescue leather from stubborn ink marks
An ink mark on good leather feels like a small disaster, but it does not have to be. Avel Ink Stain Remover is made for exactly this job: tackling the stubborn biro, pen and ink stains that ordinary cleaners simply will not budge. Ink sinks deep and sets fast, so you need a targeted product designed to loosen those residues – and that is precisely what this does.
The formula works quickly to break down ink while helping to protect the look of the leather around it, so you can lift or reduce a stain without causing extra damage. I have used it to save leather shoes, handbags and furniture that owners had all but given up on. It will not perform miracles on every mark, especially very old ones, but used promptly and carefully it gives you a real, honest chance of getting your leather back.
A little honesty helps here: ink is one of the toughest marks to shift, and no product can promise a perfect result every time. What this does is give you a proper, targeted tool made for the job, rather than reaching for something harsh that risks doing more harm to the leather than the stain itself.
Why choose Avel Ink Stain Remover?
- Targets stubborn ink. Designed specifically for biro and ink marks that standard cleaners leave behind.
- Fast-acting. It gets to work quickly to loosen ink residues from the surface.
- Kind to the leather. It lifts the stain while helping to preserve the surrounding finish.
- Versatile. Suitable for leather shoes, bags, furniture and other affected surfaces.
- Helps reduce discolouration. Even where a mark will not fully vanish, it can noticeably fade it.
How to use Avel Ink Stain Remover
Patience and a gentle hand are the secret here:
- Apply a small amount to a clean cloth or a cotton bud.
- Dab gently onto the stain, working from the outside inwards to stop it spreading.
- Do not rub – dabbing lifts the ink rather than smearing it.
- Repeat as needed until the mark lifts or fades.
- Allow the area to dry, then condition the leather to restore its finish.
Haico’s tip: always test on an inconspicuous area first, and act as quickly as you can – fresh ink is far easier to remove than a stain that has had days to set. Once you are happy with the result, feed the leather with a cream or lotion so it looks cared for rather than just cleaned.

Frequently asked questions
Will it remove every ink stain completely?
Not always – ink can be permanent, especially if it has been left for a while. But used promptly and carefully it gives you the best possible chance of lifting or greatly reducing the mark.
Can I use it on suede or nubuck?
It is designed mainly for smooth leather. On delicate materials like suede, always test a hidden spot first and proceed very gently.
Should I condition the leather afterwards?
Yes. Once the stain is dealt with and the area is dry, a leather cream or lotion restores moisture and finish so the repaired spot blends in.
How soon should I treat an ink stain?
As soon as you possibly can. Fresh ink sits nearer the surface and lifts far more easily, whereas a stain left for days works its way in and becomes much harder to remove.
