What is how to remove sharpie?

Here's some information on how to remove Sharpie (permanent marker):

Removing Sharpie can be tricky, as it's designed to be permanent! The success often depends on the surface it's on. Here are some common methods:

• On Smooth, Non-Porous Surfaces (like glass, plastic, metal):

  • Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol): This is often the first thing to try. Soak a cotton ball or cloth and gently rub the Sharpie mark. Learn more about Isopropyl%20Alcohol.
  • Hand Sanitizer: Many hand sanitizers contain alcohol and can work similarly to rubbing alcohol.
  • Dry Erase Marker: Surprisingly, drawing over the Sharpie with a dry erase marker and then wiping it away can lift the permanent ink. See information about Dry%20Erase%20Marker

• On Porous Surfaces (like fabric, carpet, wood): These are much harder to clean.

  • Hairspray: Some hairsprays contain alcohol that can help dissolve the ink. Spray the area and blot with a clean cloth. Repeat as needed.
  • Nail Polish Remover (Acetone): Use with caution, especially on delicate fabrics or surfaces, as it can damage them. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Apply sparingly with a cotton ball and blot. Read more about Nail%20Polish%20Remover
  • Milk: Soaking fabrics in milk overnight can sometimes help loosen the ink.
  • Baking Soda Paste: Make a paste with baking soda and water and gently rub it onto the stain. Understand more about Baking%20Soda

• General Tips:

  • Act Quickly: The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove.
  • Blot, Don't Rub: Rubbing can spread the stain.
  • Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Before applying any cleaner, test it on a hidden area to ensure it doesn't damage the surface.
  • Ventilate the Area: When using solvents like alcohol or acetone, work in a well-ventilated area.
  • Repeat if Necessary: You may need to repeat the cleaning process several times to fully remove the Sharpie.
  • Washable Fabrics: After treating a fabric stain, wash the item as usual.
