CLEANING HACKS! - HOW TO REMOVE MARKER STAIN FROM WALLS

CLEANING HACKS! - HOW TO REMOVE MARKER STAIN FROM WALLS

1. Using a dry-erase (non-permanent) marker

• write over the existing stain (using same color)
• use a dry cloth to rub the stain gently
• repeat a few times to totally remove the marks

2. Using a tooth paste

• use a dry cloth to spread a small amount of white toothpaste over the stain (do not use gel toothpaste)
• leave it for 10 minutes
• scrub the stain using a dry cloth
• wipe away the toothpaste with a damp cloth
• the mark should be gone

3. Using a scotch-brite sponge (green abrasive side) & baking soda

• wet the sponge and place a small amount of baking soda on it
• rub the baking soda in circular motion
• rinse the sponge and repeat until the mark is completely gone

4. Using alcohol based toiletries

• use hand sanitizer or nail polish remover
• pour a small amount onto an unwanted cloth
• blot the stain (check if any paint is coming off from the wall, if so, stop immediately)
• if the paint is not affected, try scrubbing in circular motion
• clean the area with soap and water after the stain is removed

5. Using WD-40

• spray a small amount of WD-40 onto the stain (be sure to put a cloth on the wall below the stain to prevent drips staining other parts of the wall
• try scrubbing in circular motion
• clean the area with soap and water after the stain is removed

6. Using melamine sponge (magic sponge)

• wet the sponge
• scrub the stain with the sponge in circular motion
• rinse the sponge and repeat until the mark is completely gone
• clean the area with soap and water after the stain is removed
