Hi, kids! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Scroll on down and check out Today's Tip!


REMOVING INK MARKS FROM COUNTERTOPS

Have you ever placed a store receipt on your counter, didn't realize it
was wet, and later found it left a blue stain from the ink? Or have you
ever accidentally gotten permanent marker ink on your counter or sink?
You can get rid of these stains easily by putting a little rubbing alcohol
on a paper towel and rubbing the stained area. Works like a charm!

I use rubbing alcohol among other things in Dave's stain cleaning arsenal! I may have solved this dilemma before using alcohol. Not sure if I've tried it on magic marker. Thanks for the tips Pam.

This is where I use my "duct tape" again. Cover it and forget it!

Ooooooooops! You can tell I'm way tired! I screwed up the title of the thread - forgot to write "Today's Tip" in the title. (I've asked a Mod to change it for me.)

I know you can use it on granite I clean my granite counters daily....... mix about 1/4 c. rubbing alcohol with a few drops of liquid detergent and fill the rest of the spray bottle with water.

Great tip Pam

Good tip for today!
I like the receipt for Burguer King. I like BK better than McDonalds.
