SECTION FOUR
• Periodically remove the tissues to check on the
condition of the stain . When the stain is almost
gone, remove the tissues completely . Do not leave
on for more than one hour .
• Wash the stain with sufficient amount of clean
water .
To Neutralize Bleach:
• Place a piece of tissue, as in Step 2, and apply
hydrogen peroxide solution (15%) .
• Leave the solution on for approximately 30 minutes
then remove the tissue .
• Completely remove the residue of hydrogen
peroxide on the Ultra-leather with water .
Bleach is the only chemical that will remove ballpoint
pen stains . However, this may cause polyurethane
to yellow or the back cloth to deteriorate . It is
recommended to remove ballpoint pen stains as early
as possible with ethanol .
