Wood
Use the following steps to remove ink stains from wood:
- Mix dishwashing detergent in hot water and swish to make a great volume of suds.
- Dip a cloth in only the foam and gently wipe the stain.
- Rinse with a clean cloth moistened with clear water.
- If a stain remains, rub the area with superfine (number 0000) steel wool dipped in liquid wax. Rub lightly, because steel wool will remove a fine layer of the surface.
- Polish or wax as soon as possible.
