My 3 year old son found a sharpie (permanent marker) this weekend. Before I realized he had it … he made his mark on everything in the house. If you have marks on the walls of your house, you might try baking soda toothpaste. It worked wonders on our house. Watch the video!

Check your local store for Arm & Hammer toothpastes. A & H has a couple of Baking soda toothpastes; it should say the toothpaste contains baking soda right on the box.
Thanks Doc - I’ve just removed a pen mark from my laminate floor that I made accidentally over a year ago. Thought it was going to be a deposit issue when I eventually move out! Had the IPA in the cupboard all along. Strong stuff.
I have heard a lot of people mention dry erase markers after this post. I had no idea … other people have mentioned the baking soda toothpaste being abrasive. I will try the dry erase marker.

My 2 y/o daughter drew all over herself with a black sharpie once. To get the marker off of her skin I poured a little bit of baby oil on a cotton ball and was able to get it all off. She had also drew on a wall and our coffee table with it & for that I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
WOW,
DRY ERASE MARKER the big ones / Dry Marker SOLVENT (found packaged w/ expo markers) and a Dry! Magic Eraser Completely removed my lovely Mural (not just scribbles) of Black permanent marker that cascaded down 2 flights of stairs..
I had to use a couple of markers and a BIG Bottle of solvent but SOOO worth it…..YOu can use the solvent alone but you have to use a bit more elbow grease, my heart could handle after finding my lovely art work and 2 days until guest arrive!!!!!
Thanks for the tips!!! worked way better then the toothpaste

I have used dry erase markers for this purpose as well. Just test in obscure place first in case the material stains from the dry erase as well.

which brands of toothpaste is considered ‘baking soda toothpaste’?
April 6th, 2008 at 12:47 am
I use isopropyl alcohol (available from most drug stores). Put a dab on a paper towel and it wipes away permanent marker quite well
