Pen Ink Stains

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Pen Ink Stains

Post by Duncan »

If you are like me and carry a pen in your shirt pocket you are likely to eventually end up with ink pen stains on your shirt pocket.

I tried many stationery places for one of these with no luck, so use these ID card holders . You need to cut a bit on the sides so you can fold the front down.

A paper tissue in the bottom will soak up any ink. Note,,, this solution may not be needed if you buy pens that cost more than 2,000 r or are gold plated.

Please file this in your list of useless information that may come in handy in Cambodia.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

While on the subject of stains on shirts.... not sure if you can find this in Cambodia, but the best stain remover I have found for my clothes is Folex carpet stain remover. I also use it on my collars once every few washes.

Maybe other carpet stain cleaners found there will do same. I know, I know, not a lot of carpets in the Kingdom of Wonders....

I have had Mont Blanc pens for 30 years, never once did one of them leak.

Is that a homemade plastic pocket protector in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
