Halloween has been a real treat..now how do I remove .......?
Kids Halloween party is over..... some of the kids found a permanent black marker and had a ball with it. These are 3 to 5 year olds so the markings are all over the house.
How do I remove permanent black marker from a wooden surface without damaging the wood? ( antique walnut ) Also, refrigerator, wall paper, plastic air purifier and just about every surface!!!
I have tried fingernail polish remover on the refrigerator, it only dims the color. De-natured alcohol does no better. Is there some product that will remove the marks off several surfaces?
To idiots like CNS! Kids play! simply enough! as any "parent" will say.
I got what I deserved? Are you stupid or unable to read? If you read the question at all then you should see that the child/children "found" the marker! and was NOT given to them!!
The question was "how to remove permanent marker" not how to belittle a parent for giving a supervised halloween party to 3 year olds!

i have 3 suggestions...
mr.clean magic eraser,de-solve it, and goof off.
mr.cleans are cheep, and easy to get most everywhere.
de-solve-it and goof off are sometimes a little harder to find,
for the most part in-expensive....they do a great job. it may be the citrus oil in it.....hope these help...
and to whom ever wrote "you deserve it" must not have children!!! things happen!!!

Besides Goof-Off, you might want to try an extra-fine 000 steel wool on the wood piece. Beware of using Goof-Off on certain plastics. It will cause it to lose its shine from the acidic chemical reaction. As for the damaged wallpaper, that will have to be stripped and replaced--if you have some matching paper left over. Good luck!

My question is, Where were all of the adults during this party ? How could that much damage get done? And why were they given Permanent Markers to begin with ? I think you got just what you deserve. Sorry I'm of no help to you.

Ouch, sounds like someone had fun, you can try baby oil something about the compounds in it breaks down permanent markers, you can also try Those Majik erasers you can get at any grocery store

Lysol sometimes works. But there is a product called "Goof Off" that may do it too.
