Use "GOO-GONE" to remove stubborn permanent marker from fabrics! I was amazed how well this product worked. Just dab on, let sit for a minute or two and dab off! The stains were COMPLETELY GONE! I wrote to them thanking them for saving my rocker set and they sent me a complimentary gift! Works GREAT on all sticky surfaces and floors, too (scuffs, etc.)

My son scribbled on a wood floor with permanent marker. Goo Gone, WD-40, etc didn't work well but Mr Clean magic eraser took it all off.

I accidentally sat on an open black Sharpie on a tan ultrasuade couch.

My technique, as recommended here, was to but a baby-blotter pad underneath (and constantly change it). I scrubbed each with a toothbrush and blotted the heck out of the stain with white paper towels.

Here's the list of what DIDN'T work.

1. AquaNet Hairspray, which I have used on ink pen stains like Bic or Papermate, had no effect.

2. Industrial hand soap: no effect.

3. Clorox Oxi Magic: no effect.

4. Mr Clean Magic Eraser: no effect.

5. Goo Gone: no effect.

6. Nail Polish Remover (regular acetone for natural nails): some effect, because I was pulling up some purple on the blotting paper towels, but used up the whole bottle without much effect on the stain.

7. Zout: no effect.

8. Avon Skin-So-Soft (which works wonders on grease and automotive gunk): no effect.

9. Electronic cleaner (you can get it at Radio Shack): some effect.

10. Rubbing alcohol: some solution effects.

11. Grain alcohol: still left a stain.

Next up: Amodex. I'll let you know how it goes...

I colored all over my skate trucks and it happened to be blue and red sharpie. I read here oven cleaner gets it off real fast.

My two year old got a hold of the sharpie and drew all over my computer screen I didn't know what to do but, Thank god for this page. The hand sanitizer WORKS for getting sarpie off your computer screen. I can still kind of see it but it just looks a little dirty, so I'm fine with that at least I can see what I'm doing again. Thank You all for the helpful hints. I would have never heard the end of this one.

Goo Gone was a joke! I have been trying for hours now and it's only made the red a hot pink! It's not the fact that it's a shirt its my favorite eagles shirt!

omg! My 3 yr old just wrote on a wall with a sharpie. I tried goo gone but it didn't do anything. so I went on the internet and came to this site and saw someone say hand sanitizer for removing sharpie marker. I didn't have any but all that is in it is alcohol. So I grabbed some rubbing alcohol and it came right off. No stain and it didn't even take off the paint! Try it and I promise you it will work!

My son drew all over everything with a silver Sharpie marker this morning.... we're talking Tv, Our new Laptop Computer, Desk, V Smile, Wall, Himself, Rocker & Ottoman, & a picture. We tried everything we had on hand. The best thing we found that worked on all of it, was the Mr Clean Magic Eraser! Unbelieveable how well it worked!

My friend had the bright idea of using various colors of sharpies to color her hair. We've tried rubbing alcohol and regular shampoo any help is much appreciated.

my ex-girlfriend wrote all over the dash of my truck and i tried brake cleaner,gas,starting fluid, goo-gone, acohol, nail polish remover, and all that did was fade the permanent marker, so a guy at auto zone suggested that i try oven cleaner and that did the job. with a little bit of elbo-grease

My son got red Sharpie permanent marker on our camel colored microfiber duvet cover. I tried Shout first and it didn't touch it. I then tried Zout and the red stains immediately began to break up and with some rubbing practically disappeared. I then ran the duvet cover through a regular wash cycle and it came out completely clean.

Goo-gone is a good stain remover, but for Sharpie permanent marker remover for all non-fabric items, a "tried and proven" way for complete removal is: WD-40!

My two year old wrote with a a permanent "sharpie" marker on my wood table, stove, and linoleum floor. I used Mr. clean's all purpose cleaner and Windex and they both did not work. Please, any tips on what will work!

My son wrote using a BIC permanent marker (much like a Sharpie). He wrote on a 50 year old, wood children's chair, a 10 year old rocking chair, the closet doors, and his white, laminate shelfs. The Goo-Gone didn't touch it, the Off didn't work. Alcohol removed some of it. My husband used Stain Stick and a wet rag, which worked pretty well. I went to get the Mr. Clean eraser and that removed the rest of it.

My son drew with a Sharpie on our LCD computer screen. I tried some of the remedies suggested and none worked until I grabbed for the Windex. Sprayed a little on a cloth and voila, it was gone.

My granddaughter got permanent marker all over her hands when tracing them & doing some drawings. After trying numerous things, we discovered that DAWN DISHWASHING LIQUID works great and in a matter of seconds. What a find!!

I read somewhere that milk will take off permanent marker on skin, but that didn't work that well for me. I also read bleach. That did the trick. It didn't take long at all. I had it all over my hands so I just poured a small amount of bleach in my hands and rubbed them until the marker disappeared. But of course you need to wash with soap and water afterwards, and the bleach smell does linger for awhile, but its better than having marker all over you. I think if you dip a cloth in bleach and rub over the area that should do the trick also. Just be careful to not get it on your clothes or it may ruin them.
Good luck.
