Royal Leather Ink Remover – rescue for pen and lipstick marks
An accidental pen mark on a leather sofa, bag or car seat can be heart-sinking — but it does not have to mean permanent damage. Royal Leather Ink Remover is a clever little stick designed to lift ballpoint pen ink and lipstick from leather and leatherlook surfaces. It looks and works rather like a lipstick, which makes it wonderfully easy to aim precisely at the stain and nothing else.
The most important thing to remember with any ink stain is to act quickly. The longer ink sits in the leather, the harder it becomes to remove. With this remover always to hand, you can tackle a fresh mark before it has a chance to set, giving you the best possible result.
Why choose Royal Leather Ink Remover?
- Targets pen and lipstick stains. Specially made to lift ballpoint ink and lipstick from finished leather and leatherlook.
- Precise, lipstick-style applicator. The twist-up stick lets you treat the stain accurately without spreading it.
- Compact and convenient. Roughly the size of a lipstick, so it tucks neatly into a drawer, bag or glovebox.
- Simple to use. Rub it in, wait a moment and wipe away — no complicated kit required.
- Ideal partner for leather care. Finish with a leather cleaner to blend the treated area back in.
How to use Royal Leather Ink Remover
- Test on an inconspicuous area first to check colourfastness and resistance.
- Apply the remover directly onto the stain — use it neat, never mixed with water.
- Rub it gently into the mark and leave it to work for about 30 seconds.
- Remove the stain with a clean cloth.
- Afterwards, clean the surface with a natural leather cleaner or a damp cloth to finish.
Good to know: this remover is intended for finished leather and leatherlook. It is not suitable for sanded (suede/nubuck) or full-aniline leather, so always check the type of leather and test first.
Haico’s tip: keep one of these in the same drawer as your remote controls and pens. That way, the moment a mark appears you can deal with it straight away — speed really is your best friend with ink stains.

Frequently asked questions
Will it work on old, dried-in ink?
It works best on fresh stains. Older, set-in marks are much harder to shift, so treat any ink as soon as you can and repeat gently if needed.
Can I use it on my suede shoes?
No. This remover is for finished leather and leatherlook only, not for sanded leathers like suede and nubuck or full-aniline leather.
Should I condition the leather afterwards?
Yes — after removing the stain and cleaning the area, a leather conditioner helps keep the surface soft and even.
What should I do straight after a fresh ink spill?
Act quickly. Blot — never rub — any wet ink with a clean cloth first, then treat the mark with the remover before it has a chance to soak in and set.
Will it remove permanent marker or dye stains?
It is formulated for ballpoint pen ink and lipstick on finished leather. Permanent marker and dye transfer are much tougher and may not lift fully, so treat those with realistic expectations.
