remove permanent marker


Recommended Posts

Well i was burning cd's on my iMAc and had a perminite marker in my hand (between my 2 fingers) and i went to get a newly burnned CD and well... i got it on my imac next to the wording imac on the display.

Anyone know how to get this off? or another way of fixing this?

MAYBE rubbing alcohol...test it in a place where no one would see anything bad...MAYBE nail polish remover - same thing...maybe soap and water

i wish i could help, but i'm using a monitor that has notes written in permanent marker all over it

If you got hair spray you can try that, just kinda watch how u spray it, or spray it on a paper towel first then wipe, there are other products but hey if you got hair spray why waste money on other things ;)

found some rubbing alcohol .. worked, but its still there just lightend guess ill have to keep scrubbing for a while

Maybe toss stuff like Windex, a soap/water mix in there in the meantime.

Can indeed just take time / repeated scrubbing. Let it dry for a bit now, and you *might* have better luck next time you go at it.

I know it sounds silly, but Toothpaste, and I mean paste not one of the newer gel types.

It's ever so slightly abbraisive, so works a treat without ruining anything. Also, smells minty fresh! ;)

Nail polish remover works perfectly, but be careful what kinds of things you use on clear looking plastic like that. Alcohol shouldn't do any damage but nail polish remover (although it will do a wonderful job of removing the mark) may leave a cloudy mark on the plastic.

just go over it with a whiteboard marker and the it will magically rub off

learnt this one at school you **** the teachers off by using permanent texta on the board and then when they calm down you just redraw over it with a whiteboard marker and the it just rubs off lol

One word: Gojo

This is like soap but stronger. When I used to work at a print factory (letters, fliers, newspapers, even shirts and stuff), the only thing to take off the industrial strenght inks we used was gojo.

Stuff was so strong we put it on our clothes that got permanent ink on it and stuffed it in the washer. Comes out clean as a whistle. Gojo is made for the hands btw.
