Question
Hi!  I recently ordered a leather sectional and there is a little black spot on it that
looks like it could be from the tip of a permanent marker (like a Sharpie pen)
and it is on the back cushion.  So, it is not in an inconspicuous area.  Is there a
way to remove it?  I tried just wetting a cloth with water.  It lessened the
intensity a little but did not remove any of it.

Answer
There are two products you can try.

The first one is just a normal leather cleaner/conditioner.

The second I have heard of is a company out there makes an eraser for leather that supposedly rubs out stains and markings.

For both products I suggest the company "Ekornes". They make both. But any company that makes it should be good.

Hope this helps, good luck.
