First, grab your WD-40, then grab some toothpaste. Yup, toothpaste.

Toothpaste and WD-40 may seem like an unlikely pairing, but believe it or not, they actually work together. If you combine the two, it forms a cleaning solution that removes permanent marker!

That’s right, by simply mixing toothpaste and WD-40, you’ve got a cleaning solution you can use to clean up those messes that only curious kids leave behind– or bad artists. Either works.
