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.
