    Just got my new used Prius today.

    Leather is pretty good. But the most troubling thing is that it looks like a magazine or mailer or something was put on the passenger seat and part of it transferred into the leather.

    What can I use to clean that off?

    Bonus points for household products I might already have.

    Thank you so much!!!

    A dampened towel should do the trick, just not left in the sun to dry out ;)

    My suggestion is to do an internet search....ink stains on leather.
    At least it was somewhat dry ink and not a spill.
    Be careful with what your try as you don't want to remove seat color.

    If you are asking only on this site...mildest cleaning solution would be Wool-Lite (brand name (sp)) and water.

    OP's problem s*cks...good luck.

    Most, if not all modern inks are water based. Granted, we are assuming the ink was not from the 80's or earlier ;)
