Marks left by permanent marker are among the most difficult to remove.
However, this is not a reason to sit back: here are 5 ways to help restore your furniture to its original appearance.
Eraser
The first thing to try is a simple eraser. If the surface is smooth, it will certainly erase the stains completely. At the very least, the stripes will definitely become lighter.
Toothpaste
If you have to deal with a light wooden surface, apply the paste to the stain and rub it in lightly, and after a couple of minutes, wash it off with a sponge soaked in warm water.
Alcohol
Any liquid that contains enough alcohol will do. Soak a cotton pad in salicylic acid, vodka or medical alcohol and run it over the marker marks several times.
Soda
By mixing equal amounts of baking soda and water, you will get a cleaning paste that needs to be applied to the dirty area (do not rub). After a few minutes, remove the remaining soda with a cloth soaked in warm water.
Nail polish remover
Solvent or acetone should not be used on painted or varnished furniture, but is a great option for plain wood surfaces.
