You learn something new every day.  When Samantha covered my desk drawer in permanent marker this week, I was shocked to find out I could clean it up without ruining the wood.I will say, though, that it was comforting to learn I was not alone.  In searching the internet for the solution to our problem, I skimmed down one after another search result explaining how a “two yr old” had come into posession of the permanent marker.  Google it yourself, and see what I mean.  Anyway, here’s how we got it off:

1.  Take toothpaste (not gel), and spread evenly over ink.

2. Wipe with warm rag.

3. See- clean wood!
