How's a qiuck & easy way to remove ink stains ?

An ink pen leaked & I have a few small ink spots on my desk, It's one of those big U-shaped desks, and no, it's not wood type looking. It's one of those when you dust it, all you do is use a damp cloth.

    It so funny that you should ask that question, I was at work one day and noticed that several ladies on the job had Baby wipes in or around there desks.

    Baby wipes removes and does more than just wipe bottoms. ie

    "Getting deodorant stains out of your favorite clothes. The same wipe that soothes baby skin works to lift hard-to-remove stains."

    Can you imagine... after that I stopped using them on my niece's bottom. Didn't feel to safe anymore LOL!

    So not only will it work as a quick fix to removing that ink stain, it can do these jobs as well.

    Read On:

    Use wipes for a fast clean up of bathroom counters, sinks, faucets and other fixtures.

    Use the wipes in the kitchen the same as in the bathroom.

    Wipes work well to wipe down televisions, stereos, VCR's, computers, etc.

    When you get deodorant on your clothes as you get dressed, grab a wipe and clean it off. Saves you from having to find other clothes to wear at the last minute.

    Use a wipe as a make up remover.

    When in the car, use the wipes for your hands or to refresh your face.

    Use a wipe for cleaning up your clothes when you spill something on them. It will help stop the stain from setting in.

    Use a wipe to rub over your cat or dogs' coat. It will pick up loose hairs and keep the hairs off of your furniture.

    Wipe your upholstery with a wipe to remove loose pet hairs already on them.

    Use a wipe to clean crayon off of painted walls and woodwork.

    Use wipes to clean your dashboard in your vehicle.

    Wipe off your telephone to get the dust off before using.

    When in a hurry for a fast wipe down of your cigarette ashtrays, use a wipe. Wash them in soapy water later when you have more time.

    Use wipes to clean your tennis shoes that can't be laundered.

    Instead of washing all of your decorative beauties in your home each time you clean them, try using a wipe on some of them instead.

    MAYBE SOME METHYLATED SPIRITS, or finger polish remover ,, but it may leave a slight bleachn mark so only do it on the bleech marks and dont rub to hard, use furniture polish afterward, some times mr sheen does the trick
