Ladies and Gentleman! Welcome to our latest edition of "What can possibly be done to save this piece of furniture?" (applause)



I'd like to introduce you to Seth. Here he is holding some beautiful artwork that he colored at his family's dining room table. (oohs! ahhs!)

But folks....wait! We need to let you in on a little secret: He wasn't coloring with Washable Markers (gasp!) He was coloring with permanent markers and it BLED THROUGH the paper onto the table, in multiple locations. (boos!)


His mother rushed to action! She consulted the Internet, googling the phrase "get permanent marker off of furniture." She read about Magic Eraser --"will ruin the finish"-- and nail polish remover --"I don't think so!--. What is our mother to do? (camera pans blog readers with hands over mouths, shaking their heads)


The Internet suggested Antibacterial gel! It had great endorsements. "Won't wreck the finish" and "I am a professional house cleaner. Antibacterial gel gets out every stain."



The oldest daughter (relieved to not be in trouble) suggested Goo Gone! It also had great endorsements: "Remember when I was writing name cards for dinner with a Sharpie and it bled through onto the wood floor and Goo Gone got it off and I was allowed to continue residing in our home?"



Our hero/mother decides to PUT THEM TO THE TEST! (applause!)

Here are the stains before the product is applied. We used Goo Gone on the right and Antibacterial gel on the left.

They were allowed to sit for 5 minutes. Oh wait, 15 minutes, because the Mother had to get her pasta in the oven.

Here are the stains after (oohs!):

We have a winner! (Shouts and applause)

After applying lots of elbow grease...the Mother was able to completely scrub out the stain with Goo Gone(audience nodding and smiling), while the Antibacterial Gel did next to nothing and left a gray residue on the finish that made the mother sick to her stomach with fear (boos!).

She later used Goo Gone on the second stain and it faded a little and restored the finish slightly.

So act fast! DO NOT ALLOW THAT BAD TWO YEAR OLD TO RUIN YOUR HOUSE! Either throw all the permanent markers you have ever owned away:

OR GET GOO GONE!,(camera shows audience throwing their Sharpies into pre-placed wastebaskets, while getting their Albertson's cards out in anticipation of their next shopping purchase.)

Join us next time...cause THERE WILL BE ONE...for "What can possibly be done to save this piece of furniture?" (applause)
