How To Remove Sharpie From Almost Anywhere
We have all been through it, using a Sharpie and it slips out of our hands only to land on the desk or the floor leaving a nice black mark in it’s wake. Luckily, there is a super easy way to remove sharpie from hard surfaces and it doesn’t take too much time!
Next time you have a mishap with your Sharpie, grab some nail polish remover or acetone. Using a paper towel or cloth, rub the remover into your sharpie mark. You should notice it starting to lift right away without any vigorous scrubbing. Before you know your sharpie marks will be a thing of the past! Now keep in mind this will work on most surfaces, but it is not suggested for fabrics or upholstery.
