Removing Permanent Ink from a Table

RE: Removing Permanent Ink from a Table Post By raven (Guest Post) (07/18/2008) The toothpaste thing really works! While I was making lunch for my nephew he wrote all over my sisters brand new coffee table. I freaked because I needed to get it off before she got home. Then I hopped on here; tried the toothpaste, and it worked!

I immediately got online and found the website which said use toothpaste and rubbing alcohol. It worked GREAT! The marks are out of the table. Thank Goodness! Thank you so much for this great tip!

My 2yr old used my new computer screen as an easel and his choice of instrument was a permanent marker. After me and my two older children panicked I hit the web and read through the scribbles about using toothpaste on wood. I sent my daughter to the bathroom to get the toothpaste while I grabbed the towels. We smeared it all over the screen and with a light wax on wax of motion. I am relived to report I can see clearly now! Not only does toothpaste fight against cavities, gingivitis and plaque. It fights against little budding artists and permanent ink. Thank you for the tip!

The toothpaste alone took care of our son's handy artwork on our dinning room table.

When I first moved in with them, I decided that we should separate the food. They got all butt hurt about it and put their names on all their food AND mine!! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a greedy person. But I'm a young woman struggling to find employment in a small town and I really can't afford food for myself and them too!!! I tried rubbing alcohol and Pepsodent toothpaste and was able to rub off the permanent sharpie. Thank you so much. p.s. If you're having the same problem...just a little warning...be careful where you scrub....it may work for the marker but it also can take off the label too!...hehe oops!!

Editor's Note: If it is permanent ink, you probably won't be able to remove it from paper. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Permanent Ink from a Table Post By Sandra.

I followed the advice about taking toothpaste, and rubbing it hard with a cloth, and "it worked, it really did the job." Thanks to whoever gave me this advice.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Permanent Ink from a Table Post By Annie (Guest Post) (07/16/2006) Several years ago, when my daughter was one, she got hold of a permanent marker and wrote all over, in big huge swirls, my brand new sofa. I cried hysterically for twenty minutes, then got on the internet. I used rubbing alcohol and that sofa looked brand new in minutes. Same sofa lasted six years and only recently got the boot, only due to too much dog usage. Today the same daughter used a permanent marker to write on paper and it went through, ruining our wood table. I tried the rubbing alcohol but it didn't seem to do much good. After reading this about "elbow grease", I tried again. Brand new. I also used the alcohol to get some other stains off the table. It worked on two others. Thanks, all.

Use Arm & Hammer whitening toothpaste. Put small amount, let stand 1 minute and rub with a cloth. Good Luck! Thanks Leah for the idea Report Spam or Abuse Removing permanent ink from a TFT monitor Post By Kim Snowden (Guest Post) (06/21/2006) Use baby wipes, wipe over with one and leave for about thirty seconds then wipe again, repeat until all marks are gone. Note: Obviously you must not rub too hard or you will end up with damage to the screen. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Permanent Ink from a Table Post By Leah (Guest Post) (06/12/2006) My 2 yr. old son just "drawed" on our brand new wooden table with a blue Sharpie permanent marker. I tried 409, Dish soap, and baby wipes. Then I found this site. I didn't have baking soda (just moved into our new house) or rubbing alchohol. I tried the toothpaste. It took 6 or 7 times. I put on Aquafresh Whitening Expressions toothpaste and rubbed it in with a soft toothbrush. I let that sit for about 5 minutes each time and then scrubbed with a rough sponge. After about 6 or 7 rounds of this, our table is clean again. There is just the faintest blue left in the deep cracks but you can only tell if you're looking!! Thanks everybody!

Take your dry erase marker and write over it, let it sit a minute, then use a dry erase marker or better yet a Mr Clean Magic eraser and erase it. The chemicals in the dry erase marker breaks down that in the sharpie, so it can easily be erased. I work for a Public School, and we are all the time having this same issue happen...Hope this helps!
