This weekend we went to my parents house to celebrate family birthdays and, because we live in WI, the Superbowl (even though I could careless. About the Superbowl that is.).
My daughter decided to color a picture at my parents dining room table with a permanent marker. Well, it bled through onto the table. The worst part, my dad's boss (who he wants to truly impress), is coming over for dinner on Tuesday. In a moment of crises we came up with only one resolution. A table cloth. Not the best choice.
Put a generous amount of toothpaste on the permanent marker
With a cloth, start scrubbing.
Amazing, right?

Depending on the surface marked, rubbing alcohol will also remove permanent marker, like on plastic toys or laminate surfaces.
This works on pen marks too. I have used it to clean many walls!!
WOW! Amazing tip... I have some lovely sharpie artwork on the white molding that I could not scrub off.. This is perfect thanks.
Who knew?
Thanks for sharing!
