Answer 2

Try Goof Off

Answer 3

try mail polish remover with a tooth brush it may take a while but you need to be patient after you have done that wipe with a claean dry towel or tee towel

Answer 4

I found the most amazing thing called Chux Magic Eraser - it's very lightly abrasive, and gets marks off that I thought would never ever come off, like permanent marker and black marks on my fridge door. No chemicals in it either. Just don't rub too hard or for too long-  you'll see it come off straight away.

Answer 5

If you’ve gotten ink on a hard surface and your usual degreasers and kitchen cleaners can’t make a dent, pick up a commercial ink remover from your local hardware store. If you can’t find one, soak the area in soapy water with a few drops of ammonia, scrub (if the surface can take it), rinse, and dry.

If that doesn’t work you can try using paint thinner or denatured alcohol – these can damage some surfaces, including wood floors and painted walls so be careful. Always try this first in an area that is not visible to make sure it won’t hurt the surface!

Answer 6

I don't know if this will work but I was thinking you could use Turpentine/paint thinner.  Try just a little bit on a cotton ball or cotton swab.
