How can I remove ink off suede clothing?

Ink Stain Removal from Suede Clothing

The best way to remove ink stains from suede clothing is to take the article to a reputable dry cleaners. It is very risky to try cleaning suede at home, particularly a difficult stain such as ink. If you decide that you would like to try a home fix, you can try hair spray on the stain. Saturate it well, and wipe with a clean white rag. You will likely need to repeat this procedure several times. Armor All may also work. Or, here is one more trick you may want to try: try rubbing the spot lightly with an emery board, then steam over a boiling kettle.

Find of the centry #1, cream coulored tailored suede jacket in consignment store ;$18.00. It had some kind of small waxy oil spot right in the middle of the back. thinking that if i had to spend 40-50 bucks to have it cleaned and treated as best it could be, would still be worth it. Walked over to the till to purchace it and put it down on the counter but didn't realize that I had laid it on a blue ink pen. The lady picked it up to put in bag and I noticed the pen underneith it and that the jacket now had several small blue ink streaks all around the right front pocket. Well, jacket paid for, now we will see what we can do with it. Was it a bust or was it a bargin?
Find of the centry #2. lifetips.com and the emery board/steam tip for "ink stain removal from suede". It worked! Not only did it get the ink stain out, it also got the spot off the back of jacket as well. So, I saved even more money by not having to take it to a specialist and I have a beautiful jacket for only $18.00 dollars and I look and feel great in it. thank you so much LifeTips .

Amodex! Especially for the new liquid ink pens. Just make sure that you use it BEFORE you launder the item. Workes great!

Artists gum also removes ink stains on suede. Just rub using like an eraser.
