As the years pass you may notice that your classroom desks can pick up many stains and graffiti doodles as the never-ending flow of students come and go. Luckily, there are a few great tips for keeping them clean and removing those unsightly marks.
Pencil & Magic Marker Doodles – These are among the easiest stains to remove and can usually be wiped away with a simple solution of soap and water or a spritz of all-purpose cleaner. Silver polish can also help get rid of those remaining pencil marks.
Stray Pen Spots – A standard citrus-based cleaner will help wash away the remnants of pen splotches. Just spray and blot with water to lift the stain.
Crayon Creations – With a little bit of water and baking soda those waxy colorful creations will give way to a spotless surface once again.
Water Stains – Toothpaste is not just good for cleaning teeth, it helps keep desks sparkling and water stain free! Just rub a big into the stain with a rag or paper towel and wipe the residue away with a bit of water.
