September 6, 2007 | Kids clean, Cleaning tips
To all you parents of toddlers out there, I have some information you’ll want to be aware of. Here it is: Age 3 is most certainly too early for glue sticks, glue, glue-based glitter pens, or anything glue based. Especially when it involves your grandmother’s mahogany table. Should your 3 year old decide to have a glue stick party (complete with blunt child-safe scissors and paper) at your mahogany table, a gentle all-purpose cleaner will become your BFF. We recommend Sun and Earth or Barefoot Home Essentials. You may need to complete the process with a furniture polish - treat that mahogany right after it’s been abused by your 3-yr old’s glue stick and then scrubbed with an all-purpose. While that all-purpose cleaner may become your BFF, your mahogany will never make nice with it. So the best advice is to keep the glue sticks put away, until your child is, say, 16. And then only give it to them under their express promise not to go near your grandmother’s mahogany table.
And in case you were wondering, even the all-purpose cleaner that’s your new BFF won’t remove most markers from your mahogany.
