How do you remove pernament marker off of metal?

Answer 1

If it is in the raw wood, it can be pretty much impossible. If it hasn't penetrated the finish, rubbing alcohol will remove it if it doesn't affect the finish. Test before trying!

I used hairspray and it worked REALLY well on finished wood surfaces. The initial treatment left a bit of a hue on our light-colored dresser,(the sharpie was blue) but a second lighter treatment pretty much removed all of it. I used Suave, so maybe if I used a more popular and expensive brand, it would have worked the first time...HAHAHA.....this method also works well on ball-point pen ink. Try to remember to go WITH the grain while using this method.

Your best bet with any surface like this is a product recommended by Sharpie in its FAQ: Amodex Ink and Stain Remover. It's a liquid soap that specializes in removing ink from clothes, so less pourous items like tables and counters (and skin, believe it or not) are easily cleaned by it. All you need to do is pour a little of the Amodex on the stain, let it sit for a moment, and then wipe the soap away.

If a wooden table stain is really set in there, just let the Amodex sit for a longer period of time, and/or use repeat applications. Eventually, even the toughest Sharpie stains should come out.

You can use a dry-erase marker. Sounds odd but it i've used it to remove permenant marker from a plastic ruler. It's the solvent in it that does it.

You have to use the dry-erase marker to write over the permenant marker (stick within the original mark at first). Leave for a few minutes and then rub with a tissue, paper towel or disposable cloth.

Most of the permenant marker should come away first time but if not, reapply the dry-erase marker and leave on for slightly longer to get any remains off too.

All you do is go to the store and see if there is cleaning supplies and get something that gets rid of stains. That's all.
