Pen Cleaning
One of the oldest and most popular promotional products on the market is the pen. Why are pens so popular? Well, there are actually a number of reasons why companies have been giving pens to their customers for decades.
One of the main reasons companies use pens as promotional items is the fact that everyone uses them. How many times in the run of a day do you find yourself looking for a pen because you need to write something down? You can bet your customers do the same thing, so why not make sure they have plenty of pens that advertise your business!
Companies also give away pens to their customers because of their low cost and accessibility. Personalized pens are easy to get, and are relatively inexpensive, so they fit into almost any budget. For a low price, you can have your company information printed onto a large quantity of pens, and there are a number of pen styles for you to choose from.
Pens are popular with clients from all demographics. You can cater to students who need them for their studies, or to business people who will use them in their day-to-day business dealings (often passing them along to their clients). This will ensure that you get your company name out to the masses.
If you decide to use pens as a promotional item, you may also want to consider using pencils as well. They are also a great promotional tool, used by nearly everyone! You can have your company name and telephone number embossed on your pencils, and considering you can get 1,000 for under $300, pencils make an effective and inexpensive promotional item!
Promotional pens also make lovely gifts for clients and employees. You can have high-end gold or silver pens engraved with your company name, and present them gift-boxed as a thank-you for customer patronage and employee loyalty.
There are other reasons to give pens to your clients besides advertising. If you include them when you send bills to your clients, pens can serve as a friendly reminder to pay those bills. And, customers would probably enjoy seeing a free gift, and not just a bill, when they open their mail from you.
Pens will always be a popular promotional item. They are small and easy to carry, they are used by millions of people all over the world, they are inexpensive, the list just goes on and on. Pens are a powerful advertising tool, and if you offer pens with your company information embossed on them, you can be sure that many people will see them, and you will more than likely see an increase in business.

How to clean pen marks from leather furniture?
I’ve tried all kinds of cleaners and nothing works. All suggestions are welcome
This will depend on what type of leather you have.
If the ink is on a pigmented leather then the first thing you should try is an ink stick (find one that is a professional product used in the industry – LTT do one). The fresher the ink the more chance you have of removing it. Be sure to check the type of leather you have before doing this as if you use this on an aniline style it will not work and may leave a greasy mark which will not go away.
If an ink stick doesn’t work a solvent based remover will need to be used and it may also remove finish and pigment so is best left to the experts.
Using hairspray/WD40 and all these other solvent cleaners is very risky as it can make the matter far worse as it can spread the ink over a bigger area and can sometimes then be impossible to fix.
Using alcohol, perfume, etc. can also be a little risky depending on how stable the finish is. If the finish is unstable this would remove pigment form the leather.
Nail varnish remover or any other solvents will also remove the finish and pigment which will need replacing.
DO NOT USE Baby wipes as they are about the worst thing you can use on a leather as they break down the finish and will eventually ruin it.
Please do not try milk or toothpaste these are silly ideas that will leave sticky residues on the surface which will help to break down the finish on your leather.
Magic erasers usually remove finish and pigment along with the ink. We have just tested these and they really do a lot of damage on leather. They act like a fine sandpaper and remove the finish.
Old ink will be harder to remove than new ink and may mean resorting to solvents which will also remove the finish. This is probably best left to the experts.
Silicones/furniture polish are the worst thing to use on leather as they will form a coating on the surface of the leather which will not allow any moisture to get to the leather and will eventually break all the finish down and make it crack.
Leather does not need conditioning it needs cleaning and protecting on a regular basis with water based products this will keep it rehydrated and supple. Oils will make things much worse.
Leather should be cleaned gently not scrubbed so ‘elbow grease’ will only do damage to the finish.
Hide food will not remove ink and will leave residues on the leather which will attract dirt and oils.
Using a good quality leather protector (one that works) will help make this problem easier should it happen again, it also does your leather good by protecting it against oils and dirt which ultimately make the pigment crack and the leather deteriorate.
If the ink is on an aniline leather then there is nothing that will work if leather cleaner has not. Basically you have redyed the leather and you would need a specialist to resolve the problem. Using a cleaner and protector on a regular basis will help to dissipate the ink and eventually it will not be so obvious.
Good Luck
