Bright pink post-it went wet when DD1 spill her water. And now there is a biggish pink stain on my oak table. Doesn't come off at all, seems quite deep too. How to remove it. I am trying with damp paper towels to make it go back up, with very limited success.
Any magic advices?
Thanks

I have a ds with severe ASD and learning disability and a feltpen habit! The only way I can remove the pen from my solid oak coffee table is using a magic eraser, it removes the mark with ease then I damp wipe and polish the table. It hasn't damaged my table but I was desperate and it was worth the risk.

I clean the table this way weekly (yes I do nag him not to use a tray but it doesn't always happen)

Good luck!

Sorry what is a magic eraser?
Is that the white pen you use to have when real ink cartridge where used at school? Confused
I have an old dry one It will probably not work. off to try

Magic erasers are a JML type product (but you can pick up other brands now from poundshop / wilko and the like.) They are a white sponge that you just dampen to use. They eventually disintergrate. They are brill on UPVC and scuff marks on skirting boards.

Believe they are toxic so store away from kids / pets.

Just looked and they do a whole range on amazon - hope that helps and you can sort the mark.

Happenede to me with dd and bright pink tissue paper. I ended up using a very gentle scourer/wirey washing up thing then re-oiling the table. Was a bit grrr as she's 17 and doing A levels!
