Do You Know How to Remove Crayon and Pen Traces?


Removing crayon and ballpoint-pen ink marks from different kind and surfaces could be real pain, especially if you don't have the knowledge how to do it. There are a couple of tricky ways to deal with such problems, you may even heard of some of them, some of them may be new to you.
  • The best way, I heard of so far, to remove crayon from clothes is by using a mixture from borax and hot water. Soak the victim-cloth in hot water and borax mixture, but before that, read the label on the cloth for instructions. You may need to
    repeat the action if the spot persists.
  • Ink from ball point pen could be easily removed with the help of alcohol, rubbed into the fabric. Make sure to make a colour-fastness test, first. The problem in stain-removing comes from the fact, that you could destroy the finish of the affected surface.
  • Another problem that you might come across while home cleaning, is permanent marker traces on the refrigerator. Especially if you have little kids around the house. Those little rascals are always looking for space, where they can express themselves. Anyhow you can use a little bit of alcohol, alternatively pre-wash spray or colour-safe bleach. Crayon from appliances could be removed with the help of toothpaste.
The tricks you can try are really many, some of them work better than others, you just have to try and see what works best for you. Sophisticated cleaning tasks should be delegated to professionals, in my experience. Why wasting time and nerves on heavy work? Services like end of lease cleaning, spring cleaning, carpet cleaning Melbourne has got, are intended to help you with the domestic problems.
