if its biro, spray with hairspray until it starts to run, then wipe.

baby wipes are good too

marker should come off with white spirit
If its a cream sofa my friend used diluted bleach
Nail varnish remover or hairspray. It seems to make the leather feel plasticky at first, but it returns to normal condition. Try it somewhere inconspicuous somewhere first though.
I got some leather cleaning wipes for our sofa. I think they are Pledge wipres and do a really good job. After a little scrubbing they took off all the pen marks my nephews and nieces have left over the years. Although been warned when you sit down afterwards, you may slide straight off them again.
id go with the nail varnish remover, i was in my bros car with white leather seats (it was brand new) and i got biro on the back seat, the only thing i had with me was varnish remover and it worked a treat! thank god!! he never knew about it!
wet wipes, come on your a parent, they work for everything don't they? lol if not try a little washing up liquid on a soft cloth or wet wipe, i'm sure it'll work it does on mine!
