When we had our newspapers delivered, rather than get off his bike the newpaper boy would steady his hand on our front door to deliver the papers. We have stopped the papers but no matter how I try I cannot get the print off the front door. The door is UPVC, I think.
Any advice welcome. Thanks.

Have you tried a gentle rub with toothpaste? Or perhaps bicarb mixed with a bit of washing up liquid. Newsprint ink tends to be greasy, so it might take a few goes.

Or hairspray, or WD40 - both of which often help remove various inks from things.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.
