How to Clean Permanent Marker from Household Surfaces

Despite your best efforts to hide them, your child found a package of permanent markers and proceeded to ‘decorate’ your wood flooring or kitchen table. While they might be the next Picasso, you may not want their art work permanently displayed on these surfaces.

The good news is that there are frugal living friendly ways to remove the marker. Simply apply some rubbing alcohol to a clean cloth or cotton ball and dab at the marker stain. The marker should start to lift off onto the cloth. Then, wipe the surface down with a dry, clean cloth.

By learning how to clean and remove permanent marker yourself, using ingredients already in your home, you could save yourself a bundle.
