I don't know what your counter is made out of, but sometimes plain rubbing alcohol works. Try that first. Fingernail polish remover works sometimes too.
Hairspray
Herbal essence dry shampoo took the sharpie off of the countertop .
Great tip!!! Saved me having a melt down! Thank you!
Sometime just soaking the marker stain in clorox for an hour or longer works, or at least it worked for me.
Finger Nail polish works
The rubbing alcohol worked quickly and well on our quartz countertop.
I removed blue sharpie ink from a white Silestones counter by using a 3M Adhesive, Wax & Mark remover. I dripped some of the product directly on the 3/4" stain, let it penetrate for about a minute, then brushed with a tooth brush and wiped vigorously with a paper towel.
WD-40 has taken Sharpie marker off of many many things from plastic to glass in my home. It should work on counter tops too.
Omg thank you wd40 did the trick.
Mr. Clean Eraser (found in your laundry soap aisle).
Wow! This eraser really worked! Use the Mr. Clean Magic eraser
For getting out the Sharpie, try Greased Lightening, works for me. I use it for almost everything.

Thank you sooooo much , I would have been in so much trouble
Believe it or not, today my 1 yr old wrote all over my walls with Sharpie. I tried everything I could think of. From Murphy's oil soap, bleach, everything imaginable. Well, when my kids were going outside I sprayed them with OFF and said to myself, hey why not.
This worked wonders!! Thank you sooo much, you saved me from a whooping!!
Magic!
Wow, I just had a panic attack because I got permanent marker on our brand new white Quartz counterparts island. Came across this post randomly.
I got Sharpie on my white Quartz and, frantically looking for help, came across your post. It worked like a charm. Instantly the OFF got rid of the stain. Thank you so much for posting your remedy!
This worked awesome! After trying 5 other remedies and scrubbing til my arm was sore, I read this post and immediately tried it! Viola!!!! Gone
This worked awesome to the yellow sharpie off of my quartz countertops. Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you....can't believe how easily all the permanent black marker (that my granddaughter used to draw on my white kitchen counters with) came off. One spray of OFF, one quick wipe, and totally gone! Thanks for posting.
Big spray took marker stain completely off my laminate countertop! Thanks for the suggestion.
You were right permanent marker on plastic counter top used cutter bug spray and a toothbrush and took a little scrubbing it's gone ty
I got some permanent marker ink on my laminate desktop -- probably made from Formica (just wipe to clean). I tried Fantastik and CLR but those didn't work. I figure Formica should be non-porous so these are only surface marks.
This was awesome thanks!
We had Sharpie permanent marker on corion counter tops. Write over the Sharpie with dry erase marker and wipe off. It really does work!
We have white quartz counter top and the wife got permanent Sharpie all over it. Used regular cleaner at first and it was just fading it. Read this thread and we tried Goof Off.
Presto gonezo! Worked.
I was sweating it there for a minute.
Goof Off is a remover for stains and sticky materials. I think it is a petroleum product, very stinky stuff.

I would use it as a last resort. My go to for removing Sharpie is regular rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. That is basically why the dry erase marker works.
Had to get it off before wife woke up! Goof off worked great for this "goof up"!!!!
I tried baking soda and water, baking soda and lemon juice - didn't work. Tried Goof Off and it worked in seconds. Thank you SO MUCH!!!
I had permanent sharpie marks on my off white quartz counter top and I tried paint thinner, goo be gone, white eraser, and DW40 and they fadded the marks to almost unseeable but then I tried nail polish remover. And Wa La
I know it's kind of weird, but milk worked for me! You have to scrub hard though, and it starts fading away!
Baking soda, it works.
I used baking soda and acetone/nail polish remover. It works really well!
I can JUST NOW attest to Barkeepers friend for getting permanent marker off counters. Removed a few letters in four swipes of a sponge. Awesome!
Bar keepers Friend did the trick.. just one quick application!!! AMAZIMG!!!
HAIRSPRAY WORKS PRETTY WELL IN GETTING OUT PERMANENT MARKER.
Just used comet bleach powder, scratch free, with a Clorox disinfectant wipe and my counter is 100% clean. Probably don't need the wipe, paper towel would work too.
It works great!
I used hairspray, baking soda and vinegar paste then I used Clorex bleach foamer. The Clorex took it off like magic.
I know this sounds strange but it works, I tried it last week. Write over the sharpie marks with a dry erase maker and then just rub off both will come off. this works for dry erase boards also. If someone accidently writes on the board with a sharpie simply write over what they have written using a dry erase marker and erase.Give it a try!
The dry erase trick works everytime. We do it too at work.
I've had this problem! I used BARKEEPERS FRIEND ..... It will come right off! Hope it works for you!!!
It completely works. Took it off in seconds from my counter top.
Rubbing alcohol works
try spray and wash..its not just for clothes :)
I used a SOS pads
Bar keepers friend and a little water got it right off.
After reading these posts I put Aeroguard (insect repellant) on the Sharpie marks on our Caesarstone bench tops and the marks came straight off- yay!
nail polish works great on marble
be super super careful because it can take the finish off and ruin it.
Eucalyptus oil...wipes off marker as if it were surface dirt.
