Rubbed with clean dry towel to remove particles of dry erase marker. Then used paint thinner. 5 year old Hannah, did the cleaning with minimal help from Mom and lots of ventilation.

You guys should not be trying to get it out. Dry erase on the carpet can be works of art. We spilled cranberry on the carpet and it left a big red stain. So instead of crying we took dry erase and drew a human outline to make it look like a crime scene. Now our carpet is the talk of the town and everyone loves it!

My spot was from a pile of alcohol wipes that my daughter deposited directly onto the carpet after wiping the dry erase board during an hour of coloring. It left a large, dark stain. I tried wet wipes, rubbing alcohol, and Spot Shot with no affect. Full strength Murphy's Oil Soap got most of it out. I sprayed water after scrubbing and used a Bissel Spot Lifter machine to get it dry, but paper towels would work too.

The wet wipe WORKED fantastic! Took about 6 but it took out the face that my kid drew into the carpet.

Robinson's lighter fluid worked easily! Light grey carpet with a black dry erase marker---not pretty but a little lighter fluid and a dry clean cloth and my 7yo was able to rub it completely out in 5 min.

My husband used a wet wipe & it worked!

Did you get an answer or figure out how to clean your carpet? My 2 year old just drew on our carpet.

Use hair spray until wet and dab lightly with dry cloth or paper towel, continue until gone, depending on how big the mark is it could use almost a whole tin of hair spray
