When you have children, no matter how much you watch them, they will always manage to do stupid things. If for us it's nonsense, for them, most of the time, it's art, expressionism. Here are some tips to overcome these little inconveniences.
Some products are very effective in fixing the nonsense of children, but also of adults. Having them at hand avoids a lot of worries.
Some products to have at home at all times:
Whether on smooth walls or painted doors, the procedure remains the same. Using a moistened magic sponge, rub lightly concentrically on the traces of pencil or marker.
On non-smooth but painted walls, the magic sponge is useless, it will disassemble without cleaning. Using a damp dish sponge on which you have poured recurring cream (Cif) make small circles on the traces, they should be eliminated quite easily. Then rinse and finish by cleaning with a clean sponge and a multi-purpose product to remove the remaining abrasive grains.
For the pencil, erase with a white architect's eraser, which is softer and more respectful of the wallpaper than the magic eraser. To remove the felt, soak a cloth in alcohol and dab the traces of felt without exceeding too much. Above all, do not rub. Take a paper towel and dab again.
If the work is not conclusive, start again with lemon juice.
The seat of the sofa is the ideal height for a young child to draw, color…and of course, stick out of the sheet. It is even possible that he finds it more fun to continue his fresco on this material, whether it is leather, faux leather or fabric.
To eliminate felt on leather or faux leather, there are several solutions.
Soak a soft cloth in hairspray and dab it somewhere to check if this solution is effective. If this is the case, proceed in small parts, then finish by wiping off the lacquer residue before waxing, or treating the sofa. It is possible to use a waterproofing product for prevention, cleaning will be easier.
Glycerin soap can also work wonders. Just dampen a cloth and rub it against the soap. There is no need for it to foam, follow the traces of a pen or felt-tip pen by making small circles. Then use a damp paper towel to rinse and recover the colors. The cellulose should absorb them. Then treat the cleaned part, when it is dry.

Without rinsing, absorb excess moisture with paper towel pressing the fabric or using a quick-drying pool towel. When the velvet is dry, brush it vigorously, it will regain all its softness.

Dirty, greasy hands, tips of noses and mouths smashed on the glass, you'll notice this happens most often when you've just cleaned it. Don't panic, a simple wipe with a cloth soaked in methylated spirit degreases and shines in one go.
Whatever the nature of the stain, the Perrier can work miracles. Pour the water over the traces and invert a glass over it. The CO2 works by removing air from the glass which sucks in moisture and stains. Wipe with a paper towel or a cloth.

Bicarbonate alone or percarbonate or even Sommières earth remove all grease stains from the carpet. Just sprinkle the carpet, let it work and then brush and vacuum to make the stain disappear.
All hard-to-remove stains on a fabric, tablecloth, napkin, clothes, can be treated with liquid glycerin. Place under the fabric, a cotton, or white absorbent paper.

Put some detergent on it, and run your washing machine, the stain is gone.
