How to Remove Markers from Hardwood Floors...


This fall I hosted a gathering for the children and families of Zachary’s pre-school class at Sunny Hollow Montessori. I learned an important lesson! Never have out Sharpie markers at parties for pre-schoolers! SOMEHOW some permanent marker ended up on our hardwood floors. No worries—I was able to get the market off of the floor with a “magic eraser” from Mr. Clean. These things are great all purpose cleaners. Be careful with them though, because they tend to take the gloss off of things. Use them sparingly on hardwood floors and avoid paint with a gloss finish. Most of our sellers have heard me rave about this product - it is GREAT for cleaning up in bathrooms and cleaning in general. I just received another floor cleaning hint from my mother-in-law - put a diagonal cut in a tennis ball put a pole of some sort into the hole and then use the tennis ball to clean marks up off the floor. Keep those handy hint ideas rolling in!
