The best method, when dealing with Wite-Out, is preventative. Protect your work surface whenever you use Wite-Out correctional fluid.
Things You Will Need
-
Allow the Wite-Out stain on your table to dry completely. Use the edge of a penny to scrape the dried Wite-Out from your table's surface. Continue to scrape to remove as much of the Wite-Out as possible.
-
Place a dab of petroleum jelly on a clean cloth. Rub the petroleum jelly into the remnants of the Wite-Out stain on your table. Since Wite-Out is a petroleum-based product, the grease in the petroleum jelly helps to break down and loosen remaining Wite-Out on your table.
-
Move to a clean, dry portion of the cleaning cloth and rub the Wite-Out stain to remove. Add more petroleum jelly, if needed, and continue to rub until the Wite-Out stain has lifted.
-
Wet a clean cloth with white vinegar. Wash your table's surface with the vinegar-dampened cloth to remove the oil from the petroleum jelly. Dry the table with a clean cloth.
