Can anyone recommend how to get a faint blue ink stain out of the faux white leather Alera Neratoil chair? Thank you!

My chair got a faint blue stain when I wore new jeans and sat on it for a long period of time. I've had success using the magic eraser on the chair.

I have the light natural finish and I really love my chairs, so I don't know about the stained ones but they appear to be oiled.

Hi, Denise. Wish I could help. I've had it awhile, and stained it gray.I love it, though. :-)

The chair is already treated; but naturally the sun will eat away at the stain... ideally, we think you should reseal once every 1-2 yrs and/or restain (i.e. you have stains and sealer stains at your local hardware stores assuming you are looking for the new clean look year around). ;-) I hope the info help enjoy ;-)

I too have had the same problem and no amount of bleach or cleanser will remove it! Just one more flaw with these chairs! A lot of money down the drain!

Never had the problem but I did find something on the internet that might be of help: One way to get those pesky stains out is to first fill your pitcher with hot water. Then add two tablespoons of dry or liquid dishwasher detergent. (This is not to be confused with dish washing soap!) Let this mixture sit in the pitcher for about 15 minutes. Afterward, rinse the pitcher and the stains should lift right off the plastic. If your stain still lingers, repeat the process again.

Hi Katie,It depends on the type of oil, how long the stain has been there and the grade of leather. We always encourage people to try a small area first and be patient. Apply, let it sit overnight, blot/rub, and repeat....it can take several applications since it needs to work down through the fibers. As always, we offer 100% satisfaction so if you aren't 100% satisfied, we will refund your money.Thanks,Premium Leather Cleaner & Conditioner

Charity, I haven't had that experience, but I would think that if you did the following, it might at least help? 1. Blot the shoes, the salt stained parts, with a very wet, clean, towel or other rag. (What you are trying to do is get some of the salt dissolved an out of the leather.) After you do that a couple of times, let the shoes dry completely dry. (Do not put them near a high heat source, to dry them quickly, as that could easily damage the leather.) Then really liberally soak on Leather Milk and let it penetrate. You will likely need to do this a couple of times, with a waiting period in between. That should let the Leather Milk penetrate into the leather and undo some of the terrible drying that salt causes. Now, that is just a guess, but it makes sense. Hope it works, would you please let me know. Best of the New Year to you!

If the Soft Cleaner works well to get day to day dirt/dust and light stains/marks (Although it worked great to remove a pet urine stain off my Thomasville leather couch). The Strong cleaner will get the tougher stain off off like grease (again used on a leather car seat) For ink marks the Ink Removal kit does an excellent job removing ink. I used it on my leather car seats and it took it off completely! The leather conditioning cream is an excellent barrier and provides excellent protection. I highly recommend using the two together.

I don't know? I redid old resin chairs which I scrubbed clean with steel wool to remove the powdery residue. try on something else first to see.

I stained it but I used a cinnamon color to match my son's existing furniture. I got (minwax I believe) a rub on stain and it was EASY to do & not very messy. They have tons of colors & I picked up at my local Menards. Rubbed it on with a rag and that was it!

i have only used this product with great success on varnished furniture and cabinets. Works suggest you try on a piece of painted wood first. Lightly sand, and then rub with denatured alcohol, then try the stain. No guarantees but it sure would beat removing paint.

Im not sure I would. What I would do is (with the right chemicals of course and always try in a corner out of the way) Pre spray the chairs w chem real well, take a softer hand scrub brush and dip it in a bucket of chem/water mix and scrub the seats. I would only also do that if you either have a carpet cleaner w attachment or a shop vac (that end of hose was washed) and use either attachment or use shop vac to slowly extract cleaner and dirt will come w it. May need a 2nd shot, but I have both med and firm and have only used them on a carpet type material. Even the med is too firm for that stuff. Need soft brush and best chemicals.

i have grandchildren too, i got a can of scotch stain guard and sprayed the chairs. whenever something spills on the fabric, it wipes right off. it works wonders.

I would not use this on leather, I believe this would be too strong and could cause damage to the dye and surface. I have used a Magic Wand sponge with good success removing ink from leather along with general surface dirt and also Meguiars leather cleaner and conditioner on seats as well. Although I like the remover, I would be concern toward using it on this.

I tried it on ink mark on the leather bag. It did lighten after we applied it few times. Actually the manufacturer called me and refunded me the amount since it didn't completely remove it. Please use the right type of cloth to wipe it as fiber cloth can further damage the bag. The good thing is it didn't spoil the finish. I am not sure about old oil stain and I haven't not used any other cleaning product.

I originally used clorox wipes and it worked fairly well. after a while, you can still see dingy spots so I started using Mr Clean Magic Erasers. You can't use it regularly because it would be too harsh but once in awhile works and the chair looks as good as new.
