    Community Answer
    Use rubbing alcohol for ink stains. If the stain is fresh, first try to soak up as much of the ink as you can with a clean cloth. Then, use rubbing alcohol. Apply rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball. Then, dab it on the stain area. Repeat this a few times with clean cotton balls. Make sure to keep a light touch on your suede.
