If you have a little artist living in your home, anything can become a canvas for him or her - wallpaper on the wall, furniture, a leather sofa, or an armchair. They will also use whatever comes to hand. They will use ballpoint pens and even permanent markers, which are the most challenging to remove.

The young daughter of TikTok blogger Claire Edwards likes to draw in this way. So her mom invented a life hack to remove traces of her art without effort and shared it with her subscribers. (To watch the video, scroll down to the end of the news story)
