Top 4 Housekeeping Pens

By Sarah Aguirre, About.com

A pen is a great tool when you want to make a list, write a letter, sign important forms, but as a cleaning tool. These 4 pens will help make your housekeeping chores easy to accomplish. Find out how the top 4 housekeeping pens can help you.

1. Tide To Go

Designed as an all-in-one stain removal system for fresh food and drink stains, Tide To Go really cleans up. Use it on coffee dribbles, ketchup faux pas, and more. Without requiring water or an immediate trip to the washing machine, Tide To Go can get stains out and let you get on with your day. This pen shaped stain remover is a great tool for at home or on-the-go.

2. Clorox Bleach Pen

The Clorox Bleach Pen is a great, easy to use tool that allows you to apply bleach only where you need it. There are two different tips on the Clorox Bleach Pen. One side has a fine tip which is great for bleaching small areas between patterns on clothing. The other tip has a scrub brush that allows you to apply and rub bleach into a larger area. You'll love the convenience and ease of bleaching with the Clorox Bleach Pen.

3. WD-40 No Mess Pen

WD-40 has been known by smart housekeepers as a perfect solution to remove crayon, scuff marks, and adhesive from areas of the home. Now WD-40 has a No-Mess Pen version that keeps the WD-40 solution where you need it. Although WD-40 offers a list of 300 uses for the pen, the best housekeeping uses are for removing marks and adhesives.

4. Retractable Sharpie Marker Pen

While the Retractable Sharpie may not seem like a great tool for cleaning, it's actually an invaluable tool for organizing. Instead of scrambling to remove the marker lid while labeling, just push the top of the pen and your marker is ready to go. I like being able to hold the pen in my mouth while I'm taping up boxes without the risk of permanently marking myself.
