Thanks!ReplyThank you! Your advice worked like a charm!ReplyThe first process worked like a charm! Thank you!ReplyI tried fighting markers with markers and it didn’t work. Although, I left the non-dry erase marker on overnight too.ReplyUsing nail polish remover worked wonderfully. Thanks for the advise.ReplyThe Dry Erase marker method was AMAZING… I can’t believe it worked, but it did.ReplyWorks like a dream; just scribble over the permanent marker with a proper whiteboard pen and rub it off after a couple of seconds.ReplyThe marker method worked great! I freaked out when my 3-year-old accidentally grabbed a Sharpie and drew all over the whiteboard with it. Thanks for the tips!ReplyI tried all the suggested methods, but it didn’t work. My problem was that the permanent marker had been used on the whiteboard a few days previously.Finally, my wife tried a bleach and it worked. Hope this helps someone. Of course, you have to be careful with the bleach as it is poisonous and very dangerous to handle with bare hands.ReplyI have VERY IMPORTANT STUFF on my white board and a friend wrote on it as a joke…but with the WRONG MARKER! Didn’t have alcohol. But I did have Calvin Klein cologne that I don’t wear. Ha ha. Poured on a few drops. Lifted it RIGHT UP. Wiped it off with toilet tissue. POW!ReplyTHIS WORKED!!!! Amazing!ReplyThe dry erase marker method worked awesome; just drew over the permanent marker and then waited a few seconds and wiped it with a wet paper towel. I had to draw over it a few times, but it is gone. Thanks!ReplyThis worked amazingly – black permanent Sharpie had been on our whiteboard for over a month… covered the writing in dry erase black marker and wiped off with a dry paper towel immediately. Not a trace of Sharpie leftover!ReplyMr. Clean Magic Eraser took it off in one swipe! It is just like new!ReplyCandies perfume worked when nothing else did. Thanks Ricardo.ReplyThere is some red marker on my dry erase board. I’ve tried the dry erase marker method, vinegar, nail polish remover, alcohol, Magic Eraser, Goo Gone, bleach, and 50% alcohol. Nothing is working. I’m now contemplating lacquer thinner, paint thinner, mineral spirits, or acetone…ReplyThe dry eraser over the permanent marker worked like magic! Hooray!Thank you very much!ReplyWD40 will also work like a charm. Saved me from replacing an older dry erase board and gave it a “new” finish.ReplyThank you all. I had tried the nail polish remover when I first discovered my son had used a regular RED marker on my whiteboard. It dissolved the ink and as I wiped, it smeared over the board and left a lighter shade of pink. I tried the dry erase marker, then the WD-40 after reading your posts. There still was some traces of pink, so I tried the bleach. Slopped it on and left it for about a minute and that worked perfectly. The board is now sparkling white again.ReplyThe best way you can remove permanent marker off a white board is use a general kitchen cleaner. I have just removed a whole class board with lines, names, etc. with a spray bottle that removes greasy grime from your kitchen. It had a hint of bleach. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. No hassle; took minutes.ReplyThanks a lot..it really worked!ReplyOMG!!! Saved our dry-erase board with the marker vs. marker method! Awesome! AKO–our permanent marker was left on overnight, too. What I did: I worked in small, approximately 2-inch increments, completely coating the black permanent marker with blue dry-erase marker, then immediately erasing with a dry-erase eraser. Worked like a charm!ReplyHi, great page! Do you have any tips for me; I left Magic Marker on my board for about half a year, help please!ReplyWe have a wall of white board in our office, and someone used a permanent marker on it; hand sanitizer did the trick, removed it all.ReplyWorked perfectly. I just scribbled over the mark with a board pen, and then wiped it all away. Thank you very much.ReplyI checked a lot of websites to try and find out how this happens when you erase a Sharpie from a whiteboard with a dry erase marker, but no websites for the past 1 1/2 hours have the explanation! Please add the explanation on how this works so I can be done with my science project!ReplyYou had a really thorough explanation Melanie and you really elaborated the alcohol method with your science explanation. The only thing is that alcohol can strip non-porous surfaces, such as a whiteboard, so any writing thereon after will just stain it even worse! Alcohol can also void your warranty, but if it’s of no significance to you, you might want to consider reading the article below.Source: http://www.monomachines.com/shop/info/dry-erase-boards/sharpie-whiteboard.htmlReplyBrilliant!! It came off. Saved my white board. Thanks!!ReplyI used Germ-X and it worked immediately!!!!ReplyI used a sample bottle of a terrible men’s cologne. My kitchen will temporarily smell like prom, but my dry erase board is back in business.ReplyThere is dry pen ink scribble over my classroom white board. How do I get rid of it? Thanks.ReplyFollow us on Social Media
