Magic Marker on Hardwood Floor

RE: Magic Marker on Hardwood Floor Post By Shawna (Guest Post) (03/25/2008) Wow, I had a heartattack when I seen that my 2 year old son drew on my new finished hardwood floor. I scrubbed and scrubbed with different prodects and then I got on the internet and found this forum, so used the rubbing alcohol and with just a little light scrubbing the marker came right off my floor. I would just like to thank everyone this site saved my life and my floors.

No more markers for our 4 year old for awhile. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Magic Marker on Hardwood Floor Post By Ben S (Guest Post) (03/08/2008) This saved my life!

I was extremely upset to say the least, but after I used the rubbing alcohol and some cotton balls, I might even join in next time. No scrubbing and it took it out completely. Thanks for the advice.

This was deep red permanent marker on my brand new hardwood floors in my 1 week old brand new million dollar home. The alcohol has lightened it up so that it's not noticeable. I'm going to try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser after this.

My 4 yr. old came into the kitchen today and said that the floor was turning red...yes red magic marker, like a maze, all over our newly refinished hardwoods. Tried soap and water, mineral spirits and then ran to the computer and found this sight. Thank you to all of you! The rubbing alcohol worked and my little guy loved helping Mommy make the red disappear with little white cotton balls.

My 7 and 5 yr old daughters marked fairly new hardwood floors with markers, and it worked for me. Thank you everyone and everywhere for you feedback.

My 2 year old grandson also found my wood floors a great canvas. I was able to get it out of the formica counters with alcohol (rubbing). But it didn't work on the floors. Someone told me about the Mr. Clean product. I'm going to have to try that. I hope it works.

The bug spray worked a little, but the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser took the rest off. Praise God!

Does anyone have any tips on getting it off without having to resand? I have tried alcohol, peroxide, magic eraser, and green mean. I am in fear I am going to have to resand, but thought I would try here first. Effaney Report Spam or Abuse
