Can you give an idea of original cause? Try lifting with scotch tape pressed down on the spot, then lift off, then try to 'clean' with wadded up ball of white bread, also pressed and lifted. If pencil, use eraser after these steps.

Along the lines of what PIKKA said, I've seen on a TV show where they rolled/balled up a piece of white bread and rubbed that on a mark like an eraser. I've also seen them use regular eraser.

I see everyones' answers for removing permanent marker off painted walls. Does anyone know how to remove permanent marker off wallpapered walls without having to replace the wallpaper? The wallpaper no longer exists in any of the local stores.

There is a product called Spot Shot. It worked when my daughter wrote on our car seats with a sharpie. I would try it in an inconspicuous place to make sure that it doesn't damage the wallpaper.

Will this hurt my washable wallpaper at all? I put in a 1/2 cup of it to a small container of hot water, a small Sun Oxygen tub size. I want to know if it will hurt the paper or the linoleum floor as it drips on it. It looks cleaner by the way!

I don't think it will hurt either one. It is a very mild cleaner, and may even make your floor look better! It may leave a little film on the floor, so that you may have to wipe up more than if it was just water only, but it won't hurt anything.

I've heard rubbing gently with bread works but haven't tried it.

I've heard of using light colored children's modeling dough.

As for the cleaning dough, maybe fire restoration people might have something. They have a hand help "dry cleaner" for removing smoke. Also draftsmen have a bag filled with eraser shavings to take of smudges.

I'm assuming you've used the new new Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I have mixed feelings about it.

Have your tried cleaning with borax? Sprinkle some on a sponge?

Finally have you tried 4 ounces of TSP and 8 ounces ammonia to a gallon of warm water?? Pretty heavy duty cleaner. Rinse of course.
good luck.
