Permanent Marker Removal 101

Walls, clothes, screens, carpet, wood… and more!

Carpet

White Vinegar. Dab white vinegar onto the stain, don’t rub. Repeat as necessary. Make sure to follow up with a damp rag to get the white vinegar out of the carpet. Test in a hidden area of the carpet to avoid discoloration.

Furniture

Milk. Soak a rag in milk, and gently rub the stain. Don’t forget to follow up with a wet rag and regular furniture cleaner to get the milk out!

White Board

Pencil Eraser or Dry Erase Marker. Erase those stains away! Alternatively, trace over the permanent marker with a regular dry erase marker and wipe away.
