How to Remove Pen Marks From Any Surface

For those with children this will be a very recognizable challenge. Your daughter or son got hold of a pen and walked through the house with all its consequences ...

Fortunately, this life hack offers the solution in many cases! In deodorant, bactericidal substances such as triclosan or alcohol are used. For this life hack to work, you need deodorant that includes alcohol.
