Some other tips on how to remove permanent marker
Tooth paste with baking soda in it, just rub it over the marker and wipe the tooth paste off. Leaves you with a nice clean surface, smells nice too.
It sounds scary but... a rag with a touch of GASOLINE works wonderfully!
White Board Cleaner Spray WORKS!!!
Use Carburetor Cleaner, but be careful, this is toxic. You can buy it in any auto supply store, just spray it on the marked surface and it will wipe off clean. It will "eat" some surfaces.
You could also try plain hand sanitizer such as germ-ex - not the creamy hand lotion types. Simply squirt it on, let it sit for a few seconds, and wipe it off.
Another useful alternative is Lysol(R) disinfectant spray. Spray a liberal amount on the marker; allow setting for a few seconds and wiping clean. Repeat if necessary to remove any remaining marks.
Another useful alternative is rubbing alcohol. Get a bottle of rubbing alcohol (~70% Isopropanol), apply it to a paper towel, tissue, etc. and wipe. May take a few tries, depending on how long the permanent marker has been there.
One other thing that works is a simple eraser. Use a pencil eraser to rub off most of the marker and then use rubbing alcohol to scrub away the rest with a rag or paper towel.
NAIL POLISH REMOVER is the surest way and can also get it off, but it might damage your surface so test a small spot.
Another good one is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, although depending on how dark the stain is you might need to do another step after you use the eraser.
Other kitchen cleaners are good too, but only for certain surfaces(example: video game cartridge surfaces)
Dow scrubbing bubbles also works, yet depending on the surface, it might damage the finish if left too long.
