I am the worst! I swore I would try and get this blog to be a bit more active but alas life gets in the way. Today however I had some time to attempt to fix a planner.
I really wasn’t hopeful about fixing this one and I was extremely pissed off my Filofax Person Union Jack had ruined my VdS old TM light brown.
It was on the front as well which makes it even more upsetting.
I removed all the inserts and decided to have a go with my diy hair treatment I had stored in the bathroom already.
My hair treatment is a fairly simple mixture of coconut oil, castor oil and essential oils so I figured it would be save enough to use on the planner.
I took a facial scrub brush which is very gentle on the face and I took a fairly decent sized blob of it and began to work it in front and back. I tried to give equal attention to all parts of the planner. After a minute or so I noticed that the painted areas where disappearing so I paid a little more attention to those areas and within no time the paint was removed. I finished it uo by wiping away the remaining oil.
The leather has darkened but I like it is so beautiful. I am almost tempted to move out of my Gris Blue and back into this one!
Glad you managed to save it! 🙂
