This is dye transfer and basically you have redyed the leather. It will start soaking into the finish straight away and the longer that it sits on there the harder it will be to remove.





You need to use a detergent cleaner that has been specifically formulated for this problem. General cleaners will not remove this from the leather and household products are likely to damage the finish which will then need replacing.





If the dye transfer cleaner will not work then you will have to contact a qualified leather technician who will be bale to recolour if necessary.





Scrubbing and using things such as vinegar are very likely to damage the finish on the leather.





Once you have resolved the problem use a strong leather protector to help inhibit this problem from happening again.
a mix of vinegar and baking soda, put the baking soda on the couch and then scrub on the vinegar, it should fizz and bubble with will make the dye come out. then use water to get out the leftover baking soda.
Get a good leather cleaner and spot test it in a hidden spot first. If not, you'll risk ruining your couch for good :)
