3 Easy Ways to Remove Permanent Marker from Whiteboard with Household Items

[@Only_the_righteous]

Worked like a charm! Literally, my white board is shiny again.

[@EdTchoi]

Nice! 🤩

[@BirdRockin]

Ahhhh! I grabbed the permanent marker and messed up my own board before realizing it. Used the dry erase marker like you suggested and it worked like a charm. Great tip!

[@EdTchoi]

Glad it worked out!

[@carrtikki]

I rarely comment on these, (even when they work), but I HAD to on this one! I have a white board that has had perm. marker on it for probably 2 years give or take. I decided to try this with 91% rubbing alcohol, even though he didn't speak to that, AND IT WORKED !!!!!! Very easily, I might add. So YES, this really WORKS !

[@EdTchoi]

Thanks so much for the comment and so happy that it worked for you! Glad that you were able to get rid of the permanent marker on your whiteboard after all this time!

The third way of removing Permanent Marker off a Whiteboard is really neat and really cool!!!☺️😊🙂

[@EdTchoi]

Thanks and glad you like it! I also discovered that using the iCloth wipes on a dirty whiteboard works surprisingly well!

[@sandrapickering821]

Thank you! I had written on my whiteboard with a Sharpie by accident. I didn't realize I had done it right away and then got busy and never dealt with it. So it was at least a week before I tried to remove it. Just used the 3rd method and it worked awesome! Thank you for the information and for saving my whiteboard.

[@EdTchoi]

@@sandrapickering821 awesome. Glad it worked!

[@nataliechow9082]

I sharpied my whiteboard before. After a drew on it with my whiteboard marker and erased it it was clean. Good as new.

[@kristinayounes]

THANK YOUU!!! My little cousin got hold of a sharpie and wrote it all of my whiteboard!!! Thankfully i found this video!

[@EdTchoi]

Haha...glad it worked!

[@Nooneeeeeeeeeeee]

Thank you so much. It has been like that for a year and now i finally decided to clean it , the sanitiser way! It's so nice to see you're ❤️ comments even after 2 years !

Worked perfectly!! Best advice ever!

[@EdTchoi]

[@autumnmyers363]

Kids colored all over their board w what they thought was dry erase pen but was actually permanent marker lol and the alcohol worked perfectly to clean it right up. Thank goodness for Google and your video!🎉

[@EdTchoi]

Haha...glad that you go the permanent marker off with the rubbing alcohol and yes, I think we can all thank Google 😆

[@RogerHeathers]

These tips are fantastic. Definitely a proud new subscriber! I was going to dig out my old whiteboard pens tomorrow, but I thought I'd try what I had lying around in the hope that it would work on the off-chance. I was surprised to find out that regular suntan spray works very well!

[@EdTchoi]

Thanks and interesting...never tried suntan spray 🤔

[@nehak7000]

Very helpful one , my little one used permanent marker on my favourite white board, but thanks to you it's fixed in a minute 😊

[@EdTchoi]

You’re welcome and glad I was able to help!

[@videosrus8631]

Like someone else, my whiteboard contained writing which had been there for several years. The hand sanitizer method (same brand as used in the video) worked perfectly. I used kitchen roll instead of microfibre; the result was initially smudged but after a few more wipes, the board was totally clean. Thank you very much indeed.

[@EdTchoi]

Awesome! Glad it worked for you!

[@nancywachira6156]

I am glad I came across this video. Hand santizer worked in my case.

Thanks!! Worked like a charm! Used 91 % rubbing alcohol.

[@EdTchoi]

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

The one where you scribble the dry erase marker on the permant ink it also works for some dry erase ink that drys and makes it harder to erase

[@EdTchoi]

@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 thanks for the tip!

[@awilliams7404]

Helping at a school - on a whiteboard that is 20 years old? it had some dried on whiteboard markers. I wound up using 70% isopropyl (I hadn't seen this video)l & maybe windex. Cleaned the whole surface (overall, the board had a film of old white board marker on it). Nice and white / no whiteboard markers on it after that. But ither because of just age (do whiteboards wear out?) or my taking off a coating / finish on the whiteboard, new whiteboard markers don't rub off as easy as they would on a new whiteboard. Is there a way to refresh the finish so it can be erased easier? It's something like 15' wide x 5 high big board. Not used enough to make it worth replacing it, but I'd like to improve things.

[@EdTchoi]

Nice to see that your whiteboard is clean, but yes, the surface of whiteboards do deteriorate after time. Using products like Windex, can deteriorate the surface faster, so I like to stick with alcohol, or whiteboard cleaners. Having said that, you can resurface the whiteboard using the 3M Dry Erase Surface, which is pretty easy to do (you can check out some of my previous videos on this). Let me know if you have any other questions!

This all depends on what type of white board you have. After trying this, the thin layer of plastic om board got smothered, now.. Not even whiteboard markers get erased.

I used spraying hand sanitizer on whiteboard to remove a permanent marker and it dried the whiteboard out, maybe it removed the slippery part of the whiteboard, but now, even the correct markers are hard to remove cause they get stuck on the matte surface. I don't know what i did or even how whiteboard work haha

[@EdTchoi]

Sorry about the late reply...just realized I never responded to your comment. Hand Sanitizers can often have other chemicals that could deteriorate the coating on the whiteboard. It could also be that the whiteboard coating was likely worn off before you cleaned it as well. One option to resurface your whiteboard would be to use the Post-it Dry Erase surface as it's a peel & stick whiteboard and you can stick it directly onto your existing whiteboard. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@georgekatsinis5224]

There are "white Board Conditioners & Cleaners" that will help to restore original surface. I wonder what the active ingredients in them are ???

[@EdTchoi]

@@georgekatsinis5224 my guess is some combo of isopropyl alcohol to clean the surface and a flurosurfactant which would allow dry erase markers to be easily removed from the surface
