No. Hardly. I am forced to be by a little 20 mth old who while adorable as adorable can be is shifty and sneaky.
Twice now I while I have been occupied he has climbed in the desk chair, pulled himself over to the desk, climbed onto said desk to help himself to the pens. He has clicked it to get the pen out and then drawn ALL over my screen.
TWICE this has happened in the past week.
I know I know. I'm a idiot for not figuring out some way to prevent it but I thought our talk would have done something.
Stop laughing out there.
Any who.... the tip. To get ballpoint pen off an LCD monitor before your husband has a heart attack and waste a couple hundred getting another one because he claims the pen marks are giving him a headache here's what you do.
Take a slightly damp rag and place some hand soap (I used Bath and Body Work Foaming Antibacterial in Fresh Rain scent in case you were wondering) right on the marks and rub. Some come out right quick and some take a little more elbow grease. But I can report NO DAMAGE to my screen. Or my husbands heart.
We are now in talks of getting a gate for the office.
Thank goodness you discovered this tip! I can only imagine the look on your face when you discovered the pen all over the LCD screen!
ReplyDeleteMy TV is covered in crayon. A master piece I guess
ReplyDeleteYou're brave for even trying soap on it! I'm glad you got it out. I'm storing your helpful tips in the memory bank for when I have kids. (note to self: keep all pens, crayons, and markers under lock and key!)
ReplyDeleteoh how i love your handy tips.
ReplyDeleteand the smell of bath and body fresh rain...
who knew a computer screen could smell so yummy :)
Wow! Where do you find this kind of information?? Is there a secret website to find out how to solve these problems??
ReplyDeleteMy daughter grabbed a pen and drew on the screen while I WAS ON THE COMPUTER! I couldn't believe it! It's been a good three or four days, but I'm going to give your pen tip a try. Hopefully it'll come out.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking through pen scribbles on my screen right now... I'm off to grab the soap and give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I've got a pen mark on mine as well and wasn't really sure if anything could be done about it without ruining the screen.
ReplyDelete**off to get soap and cloth now**
Happy POW!
Great tip! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeletegood to know. In case I ever get the urge to draw on my fience's TV! LOL
ReplyDeletei tried that... with crayon... and it didn't work so well. of course that didn't have anything to do with the fact that i was scared to scrub too hard for fear of actually scratching the screen... as if the crayon wasn't there to begin with! if it were MY screen i would have scrubbed that baby til it came out... and now hearing this, i might just try it again
ReplyDeleteWill remember that one--thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy POW!
I'd definitely invest in a gate.
ReplyDeleteIt never ceases to amaze me how quick they can get up to no good when you turn your back!
Now THAT is a tip I need!!!
ReplyDeleteOh and in case you ever need it....hand sanitizer will get pens marks off a sofa. :)
