WHAT STRATEGY DO YOU USE TO REMOVE PERMANENT MARKER?
(re: Cleaning tips challenge-http://www.hometalk.com/diy/e-cleaning-tips-challenge-26729461)
I use WD40. A lot of stuff I sell on Ebay have prices written with marker on them. From cardboard boxes, plastics, vinyl, leather, etc. WD40 removes the marker without any damage or staining. Nail polish remover can damage some plastics and stain paper/cardboard/leather/vinyl. Hair spray can leave a film on some items that can't be removed.
I've also had success with WD40, its so frustrating when you get permanent marker where you don't want it
I use a product called; Mary Ellen's WOW, you can usually get it at a fabric store or online
rubbing alcohol works on wood, paint ,glass, and kids skin!

Sorry, Mr Clean sponge
Hair Spray seems to work better than WD40 and finger nail poish remover on walls and wood furniture.
I've used magic eraser on furniture abd walls and it worked for me.
Yes rubbing alcohol is good for removing permanent marker stains. As far as I know it is also known as IPA or Isopropyl alcohol. It's good also for removing the sticky resisdue left when labels are removed from surfaces.
Shaving cream! This is what I used after my grandson wrote all over and down their home stairs.
Toothpaste works too. Not the gel type! Use the paste type.
Color back over the permanent marker with a permanent marker and wipe while it's still wet.
Whiteboard marker (dry-erase marker) works great, at least for non-porous surfaces. I used permanent marker to identify every student's desk, so no matter how I rearranged the desks, the students could still find their seat. At the end of the school year, use a dry-erase marker to erase the permanent marker!
My granddaughter used black Sharpie all over the bathroom. Nothing would take it off. One day toothpaste dripped on one of the marks. When I wiped it with the sponge the mark was gone. I used the toothpaste to get rid of all sharpie marks. It left no Trace
