Removing Permanent Marker from Kitchen Floor
Description: Remove permanent marker (sharpie) from your vinyl or wood floor with these easy tips from our readers.
Tip #1: There is a product called Spot Shot at Wal-Mart. It says it is for carpets, but we have used it everywhere. It takes out permanent marker. It has an orange lid. A wonderful product, we have went through several cans over the years. It is quick and easy. I would suggest everyone keep a can in their pantry. Even takes red koolaid out of white carpet...easily. We love it. Just used it this week to remove a green stain left by modeling clay that was baked on in the sun onto a white plastic table.
Tip #2: Rubbing alcohol should take permanent marker off. The Walmart in my area carries a cleaning product called Royal Crown it works great on things like that. Which ever you use let it set on the stain for a couple of minutes before you wipe it off.
Tip #3: Try using a small amount of non-acetone nail polish remover on a cotton ball on the permanent marker. Use a light circular motion just until marker is gone. I successfully removed green colored "Sharpie" permanent marker from my beautiful wood floor and the tv screen after my onery 20 month old granddaughter went on an unauthorized drawing lesson.
Tip #4: I just removed permanent marker from my linoleum floor and
refrigerator with bug repellent. It came right off. Hand sanitizer works
as well...Natasha
Tip #5: I just tried Colgate "Total Whitening Gel" toothpaste on a Sharpie mark on a vinyl kitchen floor. The mark came out in seconds! If denatured alcohol also works, then I suspect that the glycerin in the toothpaste is the active cleaning agent...Jeff
Tip #6: A simple 'pink' eraser on a common pencil tip will remove permanent marker from a wood floor. It does dull the shine just a little, so afterward a light application of floor wax, or even furniture wax, will bring it right back to new...David
