Permanent marker removal is super easy and fast with the right tools. Thanks for the tip! Another thing to try is a method we use when someone has been using permanent markers on whiteboards. Take the same permanent marker and trace the lines, immediately wiping it off. Together with the new line you will wipe off most of the other line as well.
This saves a lot of scrubbing. Be sure to wipe the line off before it is dry though! I am not sure how it works on more porous surfaces, but in smooth surfaces it works great.
I advise testing and if you do, let us know the result : bah, brackets and smilies don't go together well. Great blog, been reading it the past few hours with much joy! Anyone know if it works on old permanent marker stains? Hoping its not too late!
I scrubbed it off with white toothpaste. I took pictures as I went. For real. I have used this trick to get permanent marker out of my wood floor, coffee table, and my tv screen. Fun times.
I promise, it does work. What about nail polish? My spouse inherited some hand made wooden tables her grandpa made and her younger niece spilled red nail polish on one of them and we are too scared to try and use something because we are worried it will damage it more. What do I do?? It took a little elbow grease and my index finger is a little sore. But totally worth it! Take care while doing all that scrubbing, toothpaste is gritty and this method could remove the urethane finish and leave you with an annoying dull spot on ur floor or dining room table, etc.
