As a busy parent balancing work and family, finding pen marks on your white office furniture is common.
But don’t worry! With a few household items and some patience, you can easily make your furniture spotless again. Let’s go through these simple methods!
First, gather your supplies: rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer, cotton balls or a soft cloth, baking soda, water, a magic eraser, mild dish soap, a bowl, a sponge, and towels or paper towels.Before you start cleaning, test your chosen method on a small hidden area of the furniture to avoid any damage.
Method 1: Rubbing Alcohol or Hand Sanitizer Dampen a cotton ball or cloth with alcohol or sanitizer and gently rub the stain. The ink should dissolve, making it easier to remove.
Method 2: Baking Soda Paste For tougher stains, make a paste with baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain and gently rub with a cloth. Baking soda’s mild abrasiveness helps lift the ink.
Method 3: Magic Eraser A dampened magic eraser can gently scrub the stain. Be careful not to scrub too hard to avoid damaging the furniture.
Method 4: Dish Soap and Water For lighter stains, mix mild dish soap and warm water. Dip a sponge into the solution, scrub the stain, rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly.If the stain persists, repeat the process as needed. Remember, patience is important!
To prevent future stains, consider using a desk pad or mat on your furniture. These protective surfaces shield against stains and scratches, keeping your furniture clean and professional.
With these methods, you can effectively remove pen marks and maintain a spotless work environment. Enjoy a clean, professional workspace where you can focus on work and family with peace of mind!
