Hi all,
Has anyone got any tips on how to remove permanent marker from (smooth) red bricks? Unfortunately some local miscreants have decided that the world outside my front wall needs to know that '**** was here 2005'.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated to help calm my (currently raging) annoyance.
Sincere thanks,
Just wondering whether or not the ink would be dissolved by acetone?

I have always found that hairspray works well on marker pens, I used to use the V05 pump spray, think it was called mega spray or something.

I once had some random obscene (deriding policemen, nothing at all to do with me) graffiti sprayed on my side wall (which is also smooth red bricks) in silver spray paint.I rang my local Council & they advised me of a free Graffiti Buster service they provide & it was sorted 2 days later. I never saw what they did, but I believe it may have been `jetted` off the wall, but I could be wrong. May be worth a try.. Having said that, its generally only if its obscene or racist remarks, but again, it might be worth a go..

They probably use graffiti removal spray. I had some graffiti at the local school and the spray I have did not do the job too quickly, so I called in the County lads and they used their graffiti remover and got rid of the lot.
As you say, I would approach the local council and see if they can help remove any marker pen inks that have been used on the wall.

Ethanol/alcohol will certainly remove the ink. I guess it depends on how much the ink has penetrated into the brick + whether you can dab it out. bloody scroats
