# How to Remove Wite-Out From Wood
Wite-Out is an popular correction tool with writers. Coming in several different forms, including pen-tips and correction tape, one of the most popular forms is applied by a small brush built into the cap. Unfortunately, Wite-Out shares an unpopular characteristic with most paints--it has a propensity to flee the confines of the page and stain your furniture. However, removing Wite-Out stains from wooden surfaces is a snap with mineral spirits.
