Permanent Marker on a Vinyl Floor

One of my toddlers got a hold of my permanent sharpie blue marker. I now have a beautiful blue design on my floor. I have tried using nail polish remover, OOPS, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with no luck. Any ideas?

I used the bug spray to remove two big spots of red permanent marker where a pen leaked on my vinyl floor. It worked for me. Took a lot of scrubbing and several applictions, but it all came off. Thanks for the info!

Thank you! Thank you! We just put in new lino and this morning my daughter got dry erase marker on it. I checked out this site and thanks to your advice, I was able to remove it. I used OFF!. Just spray it on and let it sit a few minutes and with a little elbow grease, it comes off! Thanks.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser spared my daughter's life. We tried everything from goof off, nail polish remover, WD-40, etc. and nothing budged it. The Magic Eraser did the trick when she colored with a Sharpie marker on our vinyl floor while we were trying to sell our house.

Somewhere on this website I remember reading a tip to use Purell hand sanitizer gel to remove ink marks from a vinyl doll face. It might be worth a try. They sell little bottles of it for a dollar in the check out display at WalMart.

Give bug spray a try. You may need to spray it on a couple times. I have used this many times but would like to hear if it is working for others.
