How do I get a red stain off of a leather planner?

I had my white and blue leather planner in my purse along with some nail polish remover pads. A bottle of water spilled on it while it was in my backseat, and now the planner has a red stain from the cloth of the nail polish remover pads. Is it doomed, or is there any way for me to save it? It sounds weird, but it’s a really cute planner! Any suggestions?

    What you’re dealing with is a dye stain.

    The best ink and dye remover I have ever found is Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover™.

    I tested Krud Kutter personally using permanent magic marker on a porous surface. It out-performed everything else.

    What did NOT work: Hair Spray, Rubbing Alcohol, Nail Polish Remover, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Hand Sanitizer, and even WD-40.

    Krud Kutter was the ONLY product that removed magic marker for me. It’s amazing stuff.

    Spray Krud Kutter onto a clean rag and just wipe the ink right off. It’s that simple.

    Krud Kutter is specifically formulated to remove ink, so it actually works.

    You can buy Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover at Target, Home Depot, and most hardware stores. It’s also available over the Internet: http://www.google.com/products?q=Krud+Kutter+graffiti&hl=en&lnk=pruser&price1=&price2=15

    have a furrier clean it for you or consider the cost as it may be cheaper to replace the planner.

    One option is to send it off to have it restored.
    LTT Leathercare offer the service in the UK and are specialists in their field at this sort of problem.

    The other thing you can try is a Jean and Dye Transfer Remover Kit which has been specifically developed for this sort of problem.

    If the kit does not remove the dye it is because it has travelled too far into the finish and will need recolouring/refinishing to make it like new again.

    On pale coloured leather it is crucial to use a good quality leather protector that will act like a scotchgard and inhibit this type of problem otherwise it will simply happen again.

    To look after your handbag in the best way there is also a Handbag Spa Kit which will have plenty of cleaner and protector for lots of applications.

    Hope this helps
