Ink, Sharpie and Dry Erase Stains

Editor's Note: I had this problem, I'd tried everything on just one line on my wall from a dry erase marker. All kinds of cleaners. The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser took it right off. Get it wet, squeeze out and try on some of the spots. Be careful though because if you scrub too hard, you can also take off the paint.

Mother panicked. Read posts. Used cheap hairspray. Stain gone. Happy mother.

They work terrific and if these don't work, nothing will!

Does the stain area come out lighter in color or no change in the carpet after the stain is removed? I've got two red expo stains in my kids room, and laundry deter, and carpet cleaning did nothing. Please let me know if the R.A. or the hairspray changes the coloring of the carpet. Thanks.

Here is what you do: take an Expo marker and trace over the Sharpie marks. Then, use a whiteboard eraser to erase it all! Yay! :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink, Sharpie and Dry Erase Stains Post By (Guest Post) (12/17/2007) i got green expo marker on my new jeans what on earth do i do?

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink, Sharpie and Dry Erase Stains Post By happy mom and daughter (Guest Post) (10/15/2007) My daughter got bright red dry erase marker streaks on her favorite blue jeans. She didn't tell me and they went thru the wash and dryer before I discovered them. I followed some of the above advice and I saturated the stains with dry erase cleaner spray and let it sit one hour, then I scrubbed Murphy's Oil soap with a tooth brush....nothing. I was worried. Then, I followed one more piece of advice and took a tooth pick and scraped at the stain thru the fibers of the denim and with some effort got all of the stain out. Couldn't believe it. I almost gave up...I'm glad I didn't...Thanks for the advice!! 10/15/07 Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink, Sharpie and Dry Erase Stains Post By sarah (Guest Post) (08/16/2007) My daughter wrote in her closet with a sharpie.

It almost lifted but no. Can i do any Thing? PLZ Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink, Sharpie and Dry Erase Stains Post By Anne (Guest Post) (08/22/2006) Try Amodex Ink & Stain Remover. I heard about it from the marker company Sanford and swear by it. Amodex is a liquid, cream soap (really mild) and takes out all inks including Sharpie. Just don't put anything else on the stain first or you might set it. Don't use alcohol!

Acetone is a great solvent, that dissolves many compounds.

Hairspray, particularly cheap harispray works so well because it has a lot of alcohol in it. If your really desparate, a lot of drug stores sell 91% isopropyl - which is stronger than the usual 70% that they sell.

In my experience, the cheaper the hairspray, the more effective its power is! (Think: Aquanet!) Good luck!

We used turpentine to get Sharpie ink off of our walls without wrecking the paint, maybe you could try it on a hidden piece of the uniform to see if the material can take it first. Good luck, my husband is a carpenter and i have to get rid of all kinds of stains too!! :) Report Spam or Abuse
