Help! Permanent marker on dry erase whiteboard!?

One of my little darlings used a non-dry erase marker on my whiteboard. I managed to get most of it off with Clorox wipes, but there are still some faint traces. Any suggestions on how to get it completely off? It has been there since Monday and I discovered it today when I finally erased the board (we had no school yesterday for election day.) Thanks in advance!

    Quick fix!

    Use a regular whiteboard marker. Color over the spot .... then erase it. Usually that takes permanent marker right off.

    It may not work for you, since you've wiped it with clorox. They do sell the EXPO whiteboard cleaner too, and that works miracles.

    Try writing over it with a dry erase marker then erase like normal. This works most of the time.
