How to remove permanent marker from counter top??

Question

If it is possible...Please help.

Answer 1

mr clean magic eraser will do the trick  you can find them at your local supermarket in the cleaning isle just wet the sponge and wipe.

Answer 2

You could try one of those Magic Erasers by Mr. Clean. I know that they take pen off, not sure about permanent marker. One thing I DO know that takes off permanent marker is Bacardi 151-the alcohol. I'm serious! You could also try rubbing alcohol.

Answer 3

I haven't had to remove marker, but you might try the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.  I have gotten rust and other tough stains out with them.

Answer 4

There is this stuff you can buy at hardware stores, its called "GRAFFITI REMOVER" it works AMAZING! If you cant find it i also would recommend MR. CLEAN MAGIC ERASER, it removed permanent marker from my wooden dresser (it was painted with glossy paint)

Hope This Helps

There are a few things that might work :).

If you don't have the means to buy a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (which are very helpful), you can try a bunch of things around the house.

The one I first recommend is hairspray in an aerosol can. Leave it on for only a few seconds, then wipe. This should get most of it out, if not, repeat.

Rubbing alcohol works great, too. But it usually only works if the marker hasn't be tried to be cleaned. You can pour some over the marker, leave on for a few minutes, then wipe.

Nail Polish sometimes works, too. But I would only recommend this for smaller marks, because you can't allow the polish to dry quickly.

Also... nail polish remover. Use it the same way as the rubbing alcohol.

But if all of these fail, take the time and money to buy a Magic Eraser. They will benefit anywhere around the house, not just for this!

dry erase board (or white board, whatever you call it) cleaner will do it. just spray it on the stain and wipe off with a damp paper towel. if the counter top is plain wood do not use this technique
