Office furniture can easily get marked with unsightly pen stains, but don’t worry! As a busy parent juggling work and family life, you can easily tackle this task with a few simple household items and a little patience. Let’s get your furniture looking spotless again with these easy methods.
Supplies You’ll Need
Before you start the cleaning process, gather these supplies:
Rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer
Cotton balls or a soft cloth
Baking soda
Water
Magic eraser
Mild dish soap
A bowl
A sponge
Towels or paper towels
Test First
Before you begin, it’s important to test your chosen cleaning method on a small, hidden section of the furniture. This will help you avoid potential damage.
Method 1: Rubbing Alcohol or Hand Sanitizer
Rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer is highly effective for most pen marks. Dampen a cotton ball or cloth with the alcohol or sanitizer, and gently rub the stain. The ink should dissolve, making it easier to remove.
Method 2: Baking Soda Paste
