How to remove Tipex from table?

Question

How do I safely remove Tipex from a wooden table?

Natasha · Answer

Gently Scrape: Use a plastic scraper or a blunt knife to carefully scrape off as much of the dried Tipex as possible without damaging the wood.
	2.	Damp Cloth: Dampen a cloth with warm water and mild soap. Gently rub the affected area to soften the Tipex.
	3.	Rubbing Alcohol: Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a clean cloth or cotton ball. Dab the Tipex stain gently, being careful not to rub too hard.
	4.	Baking Soda Paste: If the rubbing alcohol doesn’t work, make a paste with baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before gently scrubbing with a soft brush.
	5.	Finish with Furniture Polish: Once the stain is removed, wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue. Then, polish the wood with furniture polish to restore its shine.
