Canvas is a sturdy material, but marker stains can wreak havoc on its smooth surface. Whether it’s an accidental paint spill or a permanent marker used inappropriately, these stains are difficult to remove without professional help. Fortunately, there are few simple things you can do at home to get rid of the marker stains without damaging canvas.
How to Clean Marker Stains off Canvas?
The best way to remove marker stains from canvas is to first try a gentle cleaning solution. This could be a mixture of vinegar, liquid dish soap and water. Test out this solution on a small area of the canvas to see if it is effective in removing the stain. If it is, then proceed to apply the solution over the entire stained area. Scrub the canvas with a sponge or brush to loosen the stain, and then rinse with clean water.
Alternatively, you can also try to use rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on the affected area. Apply a small amount of product onto stain, and wipe it off with a cloth. Take care not to rub too hard as this may discolor the canvas. Repeat the process until stain is completely removed.
Finally, you can also opt for store-bought stain removers. Make sure to carefully read the instructions, as many of these solutions contain harsh chemicals and can damage canvas if not used correctly.
Preventing Marker Stains on Canvas
To avoid encountering marker stains, consider using a protective covering such as a sheet of plastic or a tarp on your canvas when painting. This will protect the canvas in case of any accidents or spills. Additionally, always store your markers in a safe place where they won't be accidentally spilled, or used on surfaces other than designated for them.
