Tip #1: Hairspray sometimes works - or maybe the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (if it's vinyl).
Tip #2: Try toothpaste, I just saw this on the Today show.
Tip #3: I haven't tried this but have had GREAT success with lots of other marks on vinyl floor. It is a new product called Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It literally erases marks. It sells for about $2 here. You can use it many times though..good luck!
Tip #4: Try denatured alcohol. My (then) 2 year old son got Sharpie all over his room during what was supposed to be his nap time. It was on the carpet, walls, furniture, window, curtains, bedding and of course him. It did a good job on most of the things. (Don't use it on skin!)
Tip #5: Nail Polish Remover. Just remember it has to be the original
cheaper stuff and pour it on the sharpie mark and leave about 15
minutes or so and then wipe it off, you may have to scrub it a bit but it
will come off, and laminate flooring too...Nikki
Tip #6: The idea of toothpaste getting rid of sharpie marks is right on
target. Used it to remove sharpie marker, both fresh and old, from
dining room table, and it works wonders!
Tip #7: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to the contributors to the
posting on removing Sharpie marker markings. Especially the person who posted tip #4. I walked out of my child's
middle school today to find that one of her school mates had dragged a
black sharpie down the side of my car from the trunk to the hood. My
champagne colored car was not looking too good! Thank God for this posting
that mentioned the use of alcohol for removing Sharpie marker. I went
outside and tried it with a cotton ball and it immediately removed every
bit of the marker. THANK YOU!
Tip #8: Black permanent marker was on our $3500+ French slider doors
on the white vinyl part done by my 2 yr old. I can't believe it came
off w/toothpaste and a wash cloth. The window company had NO suggestion
for me to remove it and said sorry, but we would have to live with it
or replace! THANK YOU TO THE ONE WHO DISCOVERED THIS HOME REMEDY! I
LOVE YOU :)...Selina
Tip #9: Thank you for the idea of using toothpaste to remove Sharpie
marker. My four-year-old son just wrote all over our new dining chairs
and it took it right off! I'm amazed!...Wendy
Tip #10: Try a dry erase marker to remove a sharpie mark. It works on
most non porious materials...Chris
If you are removing sharpie from your vinyl floor, why not go all the
way
and
get rid of mold at the same time? It can be easy to get rid
of
mold
if you get a
good
mold kit and find the source of the problem right away. If
you don't feel comfortable getting
rid
of the mold yourself you can always call
some
mold experts to do it for you!
