Remove Pen Marks From Plastic

My article will show how to effectively remove ink from plastics such as toys, games consoles, chairs, etc..

I searched the web for advice on how to remove bright orange felt tip from a nintendo ds which my daughter had so perfectly applied all over it. Nothing worked! As a last ditch attempt my partner tried Cutting Compound! A little amount on the corner of a dry dusting cloth was all that was needed as it wiped straight off!

I immediatley went upstairs and cleaned all of her toys which had been coloured in. It worked on everything.

I have published this as i understand now how it feels to find something has been totally destroyed by the wonderful creation of felt tip pens!

I hope this helps!!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • cutting compound (T-Cut)
  • Dry cloth
  1. Step 1

    Dab your dry cloth into a tiny amount of cutting compound.

  2. Step 2

    Rub gently over the affected area and watch as the stain completely disappears!

  3. Step 3

    Buff clean with the dry cloth.

Tips & Warnings
  • Using this method will instantly remove ink from your plastic!!
  • Do not use more than a tiny amount of the compound. One dab is more than enough!
