Removing marks from our Step2 Lifestyles Kitchen
Need help removing markers from a Step2 Lifestyles Kitchen? Try Flitz polish. This kitchen was in great condition that we purchased at a local tag sale for our granddaughter. I did notice a number of different colored lines on the refrigerator door that I thought were probably made from a washable kids marker. WRONG ! They were a more permanent type marker that would not wash off with soap & water. I even tried some paint thinner. Fortunately I had some Flitz polish around and in reading the label noticed that it claimed to take off graffiti and dyes. Check out the pictures below to see the reuslts. FLITZ to the rescue again!

Materials Used:
- Flitz Polish 1.76 ounce tube
- Micro Fiber Cloth
- Optional paper towel or small soft rag
Instructions and Application :
1. Right out of the tube place a small dab of Flitz on to a soft cloth. I used a micro fiber cloth.
2. Apply the Flitz with light pressure in the direction of the marker lines. I reapplied more polish in a few stubborn areas until the marker was gone.
3. I then turned the cloth to a clean spot and buffed off the remaining Flitz polish from the door.
4. The last thing was to wash the door of the refrigerator with warm soapy water and rinse before letting it be played with. Good as new.

| Polish Guy Tip : ” We used Flitz polish paste in a tube, but liquid Flitz polish would give you the same good results. Flitz polish has a USDA label so I felt it was safe to use in this application, but you should wash and rinse any remaining polish residue from the surface before letting your child play with it.” |

Materials Used:

- Micro Fiber Cloth
- Pair of nitrile gloves
- Paper towel or small soft rag
Instructions and Application :
1. Right out of the tube place a small dab of Flitz on to the face of the button.
2. Spread it in a light even coat with your fingertips .
3. Buff off the Flitz polish with any soft cloth. We used a microfiber cloth as it’s soft textured weave will buff the button to a nice soft shine quickly and not scratch the surface.
4. If you would like a sharper brighter shine, just repeat the above steps until you get the shine you desire.

Removing the haze from the cover of a crock pot with Flitz polish
Our crock pot that we love to do our slow cook stews in is getting pretty old. It works fine but the plastic cover had become hard to see through. Rather than throw it out and buy a new one, we decided why not just try to clean the top. Of course it had been washed every time it was used and even put through the dishwasher but it still seemed to get hazier over the years and hard to see through, making the food somewhat unappetizing as you looked through the cover.

Materials Used :
Instructions and Application :
1. Right out of the tube squeeze 10 or so pencil size dots of polish around the perimeter of the under side of the plastic crock pot cover.
2. Take a microfiber cloth, or any soft lent free cloth, and rub in the polish in small circles until the entire inside of the cover is cover with a thin film of polish.
3. Turn the microfiber cloth to a clean section and buff off the Flitz polish before it dries.
4. Repeat the steps above for the outside and edges of the cover.
5. If your cover comes out as clean and clear as ours did, you are all set. If you still have a little haze, reapply the Flitz polish and buff again until you get the results you require.
6. Before you use the top again, wash the top with soap and water and even put it through the dishwasher to make sure all remnants of the polish are gone.
