Ask the Old Farmer: I have a beautiful lemon-yellow kitch
en set covered in soft leather My young son wrote on one of
the chairs with a ball-point pen I've tried hairspray, alcohol,
etc, but nothing helps MC, Billenca, Mass
i Try a little cleaning solvent Then put on a shoe polish that
KfidlWm I'mrj* IS*, matches the leather I would dab the writing with a small pad of
! r~ cloth lightly soaked in solvent Then wash and rinse with mild
