Dry Erase Marker on Furniture - How to remove?

Jul 22, 2003 4 Replies

My daughter decided it would be nice to have her initials on her dresser - any creative ways to get the initials off without affecting the finish?



Thoughts/ideas very much appreciated.



Thx in advance,

I guess you have already tried scrubbing with a mild cleaner, so here goes something else. Please be careful with this and try it in an unnoticed area. I have used the same marker, scribbled the area and wiped it up with a damp cloth. Don't recall where all I did this and sometimes the results were not complete. Hopefully someone else here has an easy/better answer.

They make a cleaner/conditioner for the whiteboard used with dry erase markers. I had success (albeit 20 years ago) using that on a maple coffee table and end tables. YMMV

Happy modeming, Bill

Doesn't it just "erase" right off? Or did it get into the pores of the wood?
