3 Year Old Colored Red Sharpie on White Cabinets!!! HELP!!
Ok on Sunday I scrubbed my white cabinets clean! And they looked wonderful I have been admiring them non stop actaully!! Then right before I put my son down for nap her grabbed a red sharpie off the counter (stupid me for leaving it there!) and drew a single line on a cabinet!!!!!! I thought I was going to die!! LOL!! So I tried scrubbing it with a sponge and they didn't work then I sprayed the Lysol 4 in 1 spray and let it sit for a minute but all that did was fade it to hot pink and smear it!! I don't have a Mr. Clean magic eraser so what can I do other than that? Please help I will be obessed with it til I get it off!! I know I said a little nuts sorry bout that!

F. when my little girl did that a friend told me to use rubbing alcohol and it took it right off. It works to remove stains from walls also! Good Luck!

I am a clorox person. It is clean and gets rid of germs and is overall the best cleaner in my opinion. YES, you have to be careful with it so that you don't ruin something.
As for inks....I have used rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover (this might not work on your paint), and hair spray.
I don't know how that Magic Eraser works but it is a great tool to keep on hand!
Good luck!

I've used liquid hand sanitizer on my coffee table and it came right off.
Whatever you choose, test a patch of the cabinets somewhere out of sight in case it changes the surface appearance.

Go buy the Mr Clean magic eraser - NOTHING else worked for me! My child used a purple sharpie on ours! I tried everything!

I absolutely agree with Tracy T!! MelaMagic and Sol-U-Mel work wonders!!! And, if your children decide to "help" you with the cleaning, they will NOT HURT your children!!

the best thing to do is go down to Kroger, Target, where ever, and buy a Mr. Clean magic eraser. It took black sharpie off a white door for me.

Until you get something to permanently erase it, try White-Out. Maybe that will make it less unsightly until you figure out how to remove it for good. Good Luck!
