Removing Marks from White Table

Does anyone have any advice on how to remove markers from a table painted white? i have tried "standard" household cleaners to no avail. I could repaint it, but would like to find some way to remove them.

What can I do next?

Did you try the "magic eraser"? It usually works really well on my walls to get off just about everything and also white casserole dishes.

eraser & maybe a new painted table too...LOL

This might sound odd, but that gel hand sanitizer stuff gets out just about anything.

You could try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, but it might scratch the paint or even take it off - read the precautions first!

The best thing for removing marker especially if it's permanent marker is rubbing alcohol. Just a small amount on a rag. Hopefully you haven't set the stain by using the other products first though.
Good Luck! C.

I use the Magic Erasers from Mr Clean or generic ones on just about everything- I love them!!!

Mr. Clean magic erasers are amazing and they work on EVERYTHING!

At the dollar store they carry a cleaner called "Awsome" My mom told me about it. It works on almost everything. I use it alot on my daughters clothes for stains. Try it on a small spot to make sure it doesn't do anything to the paint. It shouldn't but you never know. I used it on my kitchen wall when my daughter colored w/ black permenant marker. It took 90% of it off. You can barely see it. It is also avail at Family Dollar I believe. Good Luck!
