Ink and Marker off of Vinyl

RE: Ink and Marker off of Vinyl Post By daria. (Guest Post) (08/04/2008) I tried everything suggested, nothing worked, so I tried "GOOF OFF" and lo and behold a miracle. All you gotta do is moisten a cotton ball and rub away. Hope this helps.

At last I tried hair spray and it didn't work alone but I had an idea so I tried hairspray and nail polish (remover) and it finally worked! :] Thanks so much for the ideas!

Seems like if it would remove permanent Sharpie marker it would remove other types of ink? Use it full strength on a cotton ball or cloth. Might want to test an area just to be sure.

Dabbed it on over the spots, left it for a couple hours, wiped it off with a damp cloth and spots were gone completely.

I removed permanent marker that was on my counter top with a simple wipe using that. Not sure if it will work on the fence, but worth a try. Test it someplace first though to make sure it doesn't leave a green stain - the color of the cleaner. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Permanent marker on vinyl fence.

I have tired, nail polish remover, vegetable oil, hair spray, rubbing alcohol, oxi clean stray, soft scrub, and oops remover. NOTHING has worked. The nail polish remover just changed the color of the gray where I had wiped. But nothing else. If anyone can think of any thing else to try PLEASE let me know.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser began to work, but only lightened the stain a bit. Nail polish remover seems to be my haven.

Looks like permanent marker. It has been there in a sunny hot area for over a week. I tried the following: method all purpose cleaner, fantastic, non-acetone nail polish remover, mr. clean magic eraser (heavy duty one), purell, WD-40, acetone pen (for nail polish), goo gone. All of these didn't work. Perhaps because it was baked on by the sun? Any suggestions?

Leave it on and put it in the sun for awhile. Can take time, but it works wonders on vinyl and plastic dolls. You can use a heat lamp, but proceed with caution, as this can burn the vinyl. Never leave a heat lamp on an object unattended. Some have used straight peroxide with success. Good luck! Rob Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink and Marker off of Vinyl Post By Robin (Guest Post) (01/24/2007) Feedback from the grafitti removal industry: Please be careful with some of the suggestions. We are talking about removing ink from VINYL. Many petroleum-based products will shrink, dry out, or bleach the vinyl. It may look good now; however, the vinyl can deteriorate very quickly thereafter. There are 100s of types of vinyl, citrus-based cleaners work well on some and hair spray works on others. We have found no single method that works on all types of vinyl. Always remember to test the cleaner, solvent, etc. on an inconspicuous area of the surface you wish to clean first.

Like you we had tried EVERYTHING else and nothing removed ball point ink from the interior door panels that my 4 year old decided to decorate. We covered the pen marks with a layer of the medication, kept the doors open to let the sun's light and heat hit the door and MAGICALLY the marks disappeared. Of course, you can carry your table out to your backyard to let it sit in the sun.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink and Marker off of Vinyl and crayon off carpet Post By Romana Cooling nsw (Guest Post) (03/27/2006) My little miss 2 decided to colour the vinyl floor with ball point blue pen. I tried ALL of the suggestions eg, acetone, spray, toothpaste, bicarb soda to get it up. But in the end, we wiped it away and tried sea salt mixed with pure acetone together poured on the pen on the vinyl floor. We had to rub at it gently not to put a hole in the floor, but about 10 mins later, up it came. It was a desperate plea as we want to get our bond mony back for renting!(i cant see why table salt wont work) phew. Hope this idea helps others out there. By the way, if you get coloured in crayon on carpet, use windex sprayed onto baby whipes and rub a bit at a time onto the carpet. I just had home brand materials, and worked a miracle.
