    I don't know if it will work as dye is pretty permanent normally but you could try this http://www.harveysfurniture.co.uk/products/accesso... it works on some stains, i hope that you get it sorted!

    You have what is known as dye transfer.

    Dye Transfer is the dyestuff transferred to leather from clothing, newsprint or from hair dyes and fake tans. It is more usually seen on light coloured, protected, leathers but it can occur on any leather, though not as noticeably. Basically the hair dye has redyed the leather. It is a very common problem.

    If noticed early enough it can be successfully removed from most pigment coated leather with a Jean and Dye Transfer Removal Kit. If this cleaning process does not resolve the problem it will be necessary to call in an experienced technician as early as possible. The longer the dye sits in/on the leather the harder it will be to remove.

    Using Ultra Leather Protect will help to inhibit dye transfer as the dye will sit on the protector and not on the finish of the leather. This also makes it much easier to clean off.

    Owners of pale and off-white leather are recommended to adopt a gentle regular cleaning and

    protecting regime using good quality maintenance and protection products (not conditioners as these

    actually attract more dirt) Please do not use anything containing waxes or oils on your leather as these will not help and polishes may seal the surface and prevent further cleaning.

    Please do not use Magic Erasers to clean leather as these are a very fine sand paper and will damage the finish on the leather causing long term problems.

    Products sold in furniture stores and supermarkets are not generally strong enough products to really protect leather from this problem. There are also Leather Protection Plans which are available to protect your leather from this type of staining.

    Hope this helps

After that, I basically used my leather-based conditioner so it won't go through, yet those sponges are the proper! i've got used them in the previous to bathe stuff from my partitions, that is great! sturdy success!

    The words 'dye' and 'cream leather' should give you the clue. It's permanent. Should have gone to Specsavers.

    its a well known fact that saliva removes all dye's, so my suggestion would be to try licking it
