Alice Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 My toddler loves to draw. Loves it. Loves, loves, loves it. Today he expressed himself by writing all over our white cabinets with ballpoint pen. Any ideas? The cabinets are not wood or paint...they are some kind of laminate from Ikea. I tried a very old Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It did start to get some off but I was having to scrub very hard and it took about 20 minutes to get one small bit off. With the amount he drew it would take me 6-7 hours to get it all off....there must be an easier way. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfside Academy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I was going to suggest a Mr. Clean eraser so maybe try a new one. It has taken ball point pen off walls, simulated leather chairs and other items for me. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's easier, but it works on some things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Oooh, very interesting Pam. I actually Googled it and ended finding a solution. Toothpaste! It worked great. And now I have minty-fresh cabinets. :D I'll have to remember the peanut butter for future episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkling white, and you don't have to smell the lingering odor of peanuts for a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
