CHOOSING AND USING NOTIONS TIP
Removing Water-Soluble Marks

I have discovered a great way to get rid of marks made by water-soluble markers without a major wash. I use a pen-shaped, sponge-tipped envelope moistener to apply water to the mark and a paper towel to absorb the extra moisture. Touching the sponge to the mark and giving it a gentle squeeze releases just enough water to do the trick.
