Removing Dry Erase Marker from a Refrigerator?

I have a problem trying to get out dry erase marker off of the side of my fridge. The side of my fridge isn't smooth like the front and I've tried everything I can think of to get it out, like bleach with water, disinfectant sprays, and the Mr.Clean Magic Eraser. The marker seems to be stuck in the little grooves! Can anyone help?

I tried everything to remove pen marks from a ridged refridgerator door... Magic Eraser, Goo Gone, Windex, Clorox wipes, nail polish remover. NOTHING worked until I tried the SOS pads suggested above. It took some heavy duty scrubbing but the marks are finally gone. I can not get them off the toilet seat cover or the bath tub though. Any suggestions?

My fridge is not dimpled, but your regular flat, white surface. My son drew with black dry-erase and it left behind a stain. The ONLY THING that worked was a combination of the Mr.Clean Magic Eraser dipped in Nail polish remover.

BE SURE to wipe with damp cloth, and dry afterward or it will leave a residue. Happy Cleaning!

My daughter took a dry erase marker to the fridge also. The fridge is dimpled like an orange peel. I tried EVERYTHING that you all below me said. I tried nail polish remover, toothpaste, bleach, baby wipes, windex, lysol spray, bug spray. I even took the advise of writing back over it and then wiping it off again. Didn't work.

I got so excited that everyone said to use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. This did not even touch it! Then I found the post about taking the Mr.Clean Magic Eraser dipped in Nail polish remover. This was my last effort! IT WORKED! I don't know what kind of chemicals we mixed ( I was a little worried mixing it) but it took it off with ease and NO DAMAGE! I only wish I had found it first and not last! Thank you to the person who posted the answer on 8/18/08! Thank you, thank you!

I had the same problem and tried all the hints I read here and everywhere else. Then I was looking under the sink for something else to try and I finally tried the liquid glass-top stove cleaner.

It is a very fine abrasive and it did the trick using it with a paper towel. It got into the texture of the refrigerator and does not seem to have removed the paint.

Use bleach or just nail polish remover.

Well, I tried the magic eraser with nail polisher remover and it almost worked! It took some off and made it just look faded. But it could be that I left it on there for months forgetting about it! The dry erase mark is on the bottom side that doesn't get seen very often, so now that it's faded you really can't even notice!

I'll have to try the alcohol! My son did it again! This time on the front and side of the fridge! This time I got to it right away with the nail polish remover & majic eraser! It came off right away on the bumpy side but just made the smooth front fade!

So now I have faded drawing on the front and other side of the fridge from last year's drawing! I hope the alcohol works!

We had a bunch of guys try to keep a list on the fridge only to find out immediately that it didn't come off. Nothing worked, including bleach and rubbing alcohol. Found and tried a method on here suggesting soaking a magic eraser in nail polish remover. Worked immediately. Thanks moms on the internet!

I used oven cleaner and a steel wool SOS Pad in order to scrub blue dry erase marker off a fridge. Please be careful not to scrub the paint off the fridge as well.

Bleach, peroxide, and common household stain removers didn't work.

Thx for the idea. I combined the oven cleaner with nail polish remover and it took off the stains; old and new! I didn't need to use the wire wool.

Okay so my fridge is Dimple rippled like and orange peel or lemon and for a while we I've gotten into the habit of leaving notes on the fridge with dry erase markers normally I would just use a cloth and wipe it off and then spray it with awesome cleaner for a little bit of bleach spray and it will come completely off well then I started buying different color more assortments of dry erase get him on a good sale and I have found that the black and the green are absolutely a removable I have tried everything the erase marker the bleach awesome cleaner WD-40 nail polish home remedies chemicals oven cleaner wiping and scrubbing different directions to brush and it's almost like permanent marker fridge and freezer look awful I have thrown every dry erase marker way in there be no more dry race on the refrigerator once I get fresh top coat I feel the only way is spray paint it back to White I have a few more things I'm going to try I will let you know if any of them work but seriously I have it from the top of my freezer to the bottom of the fridge no drawings black and green that have formally made a home it looks so bad you invited a garage sale for $25 to place in a kitchen spray painting it first
