1.Ink stains.
Spray the affected area with hairspray, then wipe it off with a clean cloth. Ink can be extremely difficult to remove, so you may need to consult a leather-cleaning professional. Also an eraser can be used to remove fresh ink stains..
2.Gum.
Rub with a plastic bag of ice cubes to harden the gum, and then pull off the gum. For any residual gum, heat the area with a hair dryer and rub off the gum with a clean cloth.
3.Water based stains.
Let the leather dry naturally. Keep the item away from heat sources, and restore its softness with a leather conditioner after it's dry.
4.Mildew stains.
Mix 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) rubbing alcohol with 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) water. Moisten a cloth with the mixture and wipe the affected area. Leave it to dry.
5.Grease stains.
Blot grease with a clean cloth. Sprinkle talcum powder or cornstarch on the affected area. Wait least 4 hours, then wipe off the powder.(Talcum powder and corn starch are said to work to fight grease in particular. Don't rub it into the grease, however. Instead let it sit on top of it for a good four hours.

These methods are not guaranteed they will work and you should test the products you use on an inconspicuous area before removing the stain from a prominent area. Different leather should be treated differently and these methods generally are considered for well finished/ pigmented leathers.
