How to Remove Permanent Marker From Everything
Few things in life can make an adult move quicker than a wild child running loose with a Sharpie Marker. Good news! So, the next time your Mini-Michelangelo goes rogue, these tips might help.
CLOTHING: Use Hand Sanitizer
WALLS: Use Use Hairspray or Toothpaste
WOOD: Use Rubbing Alcohol
CARPET: Use White Vinegar
FURNITURE: Use Milk
WHITE BOARD: Use Dry Erase Marker or Pencil Rubber Eraser
CERAMIC OR GLASS: Use 1 Part Toothpaste with 1 Part Baking Soda
And I saved the best for last. Sure, your house rule may be no tats allowed until age 18, BUT still our little munchkins seem bent on self-expressive body art.
SKIN: Use Rubbing Alcohol
It works like magic, couple wipes and it is GONE. No sore arms, no scrubbing…. AMAZING!
The FASTER you use the alcohol the better. Get to 'em quick parents. The longer the Sharpie sits on the skin the harder it is to get off.
HOPE THESE HELP!

Neat! Thanks for the tip
These are a big help! We never did remove the sharpie art from some of our furniture- never could figure how to get the darn stuff off. Thank you for the tips @tlester!
it is very difficult to remove Permanent Marker on the wall or any other thing.
Great advice! I'll keep that in mind the next time my boys decide their wall will look better with a dinosaur on it 🐲
Just getting you prepped the houseful of babies you're going to have someday @lydon.sipe!
Ah...prehistoric art is self-expression at its best @steemparents! Thanks for stopping by!
True that.

STOPThank you @sumatranate! Started following you a couple of days ago and look forward to your posts!
Great advise. Another tip: To remove permanent marker on metal just trace over the mark with a permanent marker. The wet marker activates the dry marker and you can wipe it off with a wet towel. It may take a few applications to get it completely removed, but it does work.
Wow! Thanks @boonedocknc! Smart guy! :)
