How to get writing off of styrofoam egg cartons?

[crazy4daisy]

Okay, usually one of you out in internet world has an answer on how to do anything, sooo....

Do any of you know how to get the ink, or writing, or whatever it is - off of the styrofoam egg cartons?

hmm, not sure. maybe the acetone in fingernail polish remover?

 

[crazy4daisy]

that might work...

Oh my gosh, it worked! Thanks so much! You see, having chickens, you can never have too many egg cartons - just in case! And I don't wan't their brand name on my eggs...

Wow, I was thinking the acetone would MELT the styrofoam. Hmmmm, gonna have to try that!! LOL Thanks!

I just put a LITTLE bit on a cotton ball and rubbed it over the writing - it came right off as soon as I put it on! Use the gentlest fingernail polish remover you can find in your house and it'll work!

No need for applause folks, really, no need....

Just kidding! I sorta remembered that from my youth-I had WAY too much free time on my hands and tested remover and polish on all sorts of things-drove my mom crazy when I was younger lol!

So glad you can now use the cartons

I always look for thrifty ways to recycle too.

PS: Shhhhh...NEVER mix crazy glue and remover-don't ask how I know
