Look Low First

Adults mark the arms and the back. Children mark everything under the seat line, so that is where we look first.

What it was

Each Mark Comes Out Differently

Questions

Montclair Questions

Do you come to Montclair?
Yes. Leather repair Montclair NJ is done in your home, usually in the room the sofa is in. Send photos first and we quote from them.
Should I try to wipe the ink off first?
Blot it dry and stop there. Rubbing or household cleaners can push ink deeper and spread it. Send a photo instead, and tell us what made the mark.
Will a marker stain come out completely?
If the ink sits on the finish, it usually lifts. If it has soaked in, we lift what we can and recolour the rest so it matches. We say which before we start.
Can the sofa be protected afterwards?
Yes. A fresh protective topcoat makes the next mark easier to clean, which matters most on a sofa the whole family uses. See leather protection and our warranty.
What about crayon?
Crayon is wax, not ink. It usually lifts off finished leather with a gentle cleaner and no scrubbing. Any colour left behind is treated like ink.
When can we use the sofa again?
Usually the same day, once the finish has cured. We tell you how long before we start. Keep drinks and markers off the repaired area until then.
How do I get a price?
