Mr. Clean Magic eraser! I keep several on hand with my three boys in the house there is always something, including Sarpie Marker on walls, tile, doors, banister and baseboards!
I don't know of anything to remove it. If you decide to repaint use KILZ or another stainblocking primer before painting or the marker will still leach through the new paint job no matter how many coats of paint.
I can tell you from experience. My daughter colored my recliner and walls with a black sharpie marker. Aerosol Hair Spray works wonders. The cheapest you can find. I do not know about the Mr. Clean Erasers everyone is talking about but they are more expensive I'm sure then a 99 cent can of hair spray. It took every mark off the chair and the walls.
Cindy hon, this is why it is called a PERMANENT marker. Even if you used stain removers, my feeling is you will still be left with some marking.
Your best bet will be to repaint.
And keep the permanent markers up high where Picasso cannot reach them in future!!
You can try polish remover, it might work. If all else fails you can paint with Kilz. Good luck mine used crayon's on brick I got that by using soft scrub. You might even use that.
Mr. clean eraser!! It will work atleast on the door. Might work a little on the wall but it tends to rub the paint off. Might have to repaint the walls.
My son did the same thing when he was around 3 or so. I found that hairspray removes permanent markers from hard surfaces. It may not work on walls, as the walls will soak up any liquids. Good luck.
Yes there is. Call me @ 281-778-0045 or 713-516-4339.

I used germ-x to remove black sharpie...good luck!
Cindy,
Just a suggestion, try Hellman's mayo! I know this sounds crazy, but in my mother in-law's magazine it suggested getting crayon and marker off walls with Hellman's mayo! It worked for us! Just apply to the wall surface generously, and let it sit for awhile! I would recemmend you do this when your child is sleeping!
Good Luck!
Toothpaste has done wonders with crayons and pens, so give it a try, and do not scrub hard. It did not hurt my paint, It did give it a little bit of a dull look, But I was the only one to notice, But that is better than black marker on the wall.
Hope this helps
Mr. Clean magic eraser.
I have had that problem before... my grandmother told me to put peanut butter on it leave it on for a minute then wash it off. it worked i got all the marker off. something to do with peanut oil i believe.
I have two things for you to try. First, baking soda and a wet washcloth. That will usually get anything off a wall. If it does not work, try the Mr. Clean magic eraser.....it works like magic!
I just saw it on an HGTV show. You take toothpaste and with a wet sponge rub into it and it comes off. Maybe you can look the show up, I think it was Get it Sold. The homeowner had some "creative" children. Good luck!!
A grease remover will do a very good job if your walls have the right paint.
Magic eraser gets off permanent marker. its like magic!!!
My son painted the carpet with a Sharpie, and we used BABY WIPES, of all things, to remove it. Don't know if it will work on walls, but you could give it a shot. Also, you can try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and see if that works. Just keep it away from the kids and wash your hands when you're finished. It's not kid-friendly, but it works well. Good luck!
A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! Used it many times myself.
I know vaseline will remove crayons. You might try it on magic marker.
