Last week, my Instagram stories featured an unexpected masterpiece\u2014my child\u2019s latest artwork sprawled across our new kitchen cabinets, walls, built-ins, and even the cedar chest. If you missed it, imagine coming home from the gym to find pen marks everywhere. Let\u2019s just say, I almost cried.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/div>\n

Immediately I grabbed a wet cloth and started scrubbing. When it didn’t work I tried a multi-surface cleaner before turning to the internet. It’s amazing what you can find on YouTube, etc. Anyway, the first remedy that popped up was hairspray. Random.<\/p>\n

Initially, I thought no way, but I tested a spot on the wall just in case it ruined the paint. I could always paint the walls, but the kitchen cabinets are another story. Verdict: It took the pen and paint right off. Needless to say, don’t use hairspray.<\/p>\n

Next up was baking soda and water. You’re probably laughing, but guess what it worked and didn’t ruin the the paint or finish! Plus, it’s all natural. It also took off black rubber marks from the bar area!<\/p>\n

So how did I use baking soda and water to remove the pen from the kitchen cabinets?<\/p>\n
