Correction fluid is useful, but can also stain your clothes.
Here some tricks to remove it.
First, remove as much as you can of the dry Tipp-Ex® stain with your nail or the edge of a spoon. Then, moisten the back of the stained fabric with turpentine and finally wash with a mixture of water, washing up liquid and one teaspoon of ammonia.
You can also dissolve the Tipp-Ex® by dabbing it with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits, acetone or a lemon based stain remover.
Before proceeding, test these methods on a hidden part of the cloth or garment, such as a hem.

I have a tippex stain on the front of my brown leather chair in my lounge can you please advise me how to remove it
Hi Arlene,
I already answered Abby the same question, but here is a more secure trick (so as not to spoil your leather), still making use of white spirit :
put some make-up remover on cotton wool, add a few drops of white spirit or lemon -based stain remover and delicately dab the stain with it.
