Hello, Our kids would draw lines and cricles on our home doors and walls with the parmanent markers. I am just wondering is there a way to remove them with any kind of spray or apply some kind solution so that they could be removed? Please advise.
Both GOOF OFF and GOO GONE work, the one in the brite orange bottle is superior according my friend who now gives a bottle of this for every baby shower....
Hello Friends, I am really glad to see these many replies with in a short period of time. I am not sure If I did mention in my previous posting but I just see only couple of lines (one big and a small) on the wall and one more on the white painted door. I just tried with Goo Gone but it doesn't seem to be working. I am scared to used the GOOF OFF because it says it could also remove latex paint. I don't want paint to be removed but just the marker lines. Becuase we put the home for sale and I don't want the paint to be removed and repainted on that portion of the wall and looked repainted on that portion of the wall.
I don't know where to find and how to find janator supply store. Could some one help me with the website and I will go find one.
There is another cleaning chemical called "Oops" usually found in hardware stores. It is intended to cleanup accidental paint splatters, but works pretty well with magic marker. You might have to repaint, because permanent marker is, well "permanent".
You wont remove the marker without damaging the paint or even the wall itself. That's the reason they use the word "permanent". There are solvents that can take the marker off, but it will also take off the wallpaint.
Do this instead. Take your kids to the Humane Society to get a puppy or kitten. Bring home the puppy or kitten and leave the kids at the Humane Society (in a cage). Enjoy your pet, and be glad the kids are gone. Pets dont use markers on walls because they are more civilized than YOUR kids.
Once this is accomplished, repaint the walls, using Kilz over the marker (if necessary), before applying the finish paint.
