Removing Sharpie from Vinyl Moonwalk

My family and I have been running a moonwalk (inflatable bouncer) business for the past 12 years. We just opened up our new indoor party center in La Porte, Texas. It's called Lil' Jack's Indoor Party Center. Tomorrow will be one week that we have been open, and today was our busiest day. We already had a kid write their John Hancock on the moonwalk. What removes sharpie off of vinyl moonwalks? Please let me know.

I haven't found anything yet that the Magic Eraser can't get Sharpie off of.

Try plain old acetone, aka nail polish remover. Put some on a cottonball and wipe it up. Then use some soap and water to clean the acetone off the surface of the vinyl.

Avon Skin-So-Soft. My son put permanent black marker on his face when he was 5, and my mom got it off effortlessly with it on a cotton ball!

Goo Gone works!

First I would try rubbing alchohol. It should get most of it off. I would be careful of the magic eraser. It will slightly abrade the surface, which is fine once or twice, but might thin the vinyl over time.

Try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Some grocery stores now sell this cheaper under their store label.
