How to Clean Plastic Binders

A clean binder looks more professional than a dirty one.

After months of using a binder, it tends to look dingy and dirty. Pencil marks, dust and other debris often mar the binder's surface. Clean off the surface with a wet wipe to remove dirt without causing damage to the binder. Some binders contain cardboard, which will weaken or warp when wet. There's not enough liquid in the wet wipe to cause this problem. The more often you clean the binder, the easier each cleaning session will be. Frequent cleaning also keeps it looking like new.

Things You'll Need

• Antiseptic wet wipes

Instructions

1. Open the binder. Remove all the paper, dividers and anything else inside it. Remove items from the pockets.

2. Hold a wipe in one hand. Wipe down the inside of the binder, including inside any pockets. Wipe off the binder rings. Close the binder.

3. Wipe the outside of the binder. Use one wet wipe per side. Scrub off any dirt or stains with the wet wipe. Wait for it to dry before putting the items back inside.
