Ink always seems to find its way to places we don't want it. And worse yet, it tends to outstay its welcome in these places. Pen stains can be an irritating eyesore, especially on such a luxurious fabric as suede. Suede, being a type of leather, is both elegant and extremely temperamental when it comes to cleaning. There are fortunately several useful methods for removing pen stains from suede.
Step 1
Scrape the area gently with an emory board, and then hold the stained area over steam from a pot of boiling water. Allow the area to air dry.

Step 4
Rub the area gently with a small piece of fine grit sandpaper. Continue to rub until the stain is no longer visible.
Step 5
Dip a Q-tip in isopropyl alcohol and rub it gently on the ink stain. Apply more as needed and continue until the stain is gone.
