Thank you so much for the advice!
My 2 yr old son just wrote on my brand new flat monitor computer screen -- with a permanent marker. I turned on the computer to see the damage, and sure enough there was a big black mark right across the middle of the screen! I franctically rubbed it right away, and of course it didn't come out. I right away tried to find info on how to remove a permanent mark, and came across this site. I took the advice, and wiped the mark with rubbing alcohol -- it came off right away!!
You've saved my monitor screen -- thanks for the great info.
Thank you this was so easy!
My little girl just wrote on my plasma TV (52inch) with a sharpie permanent marker and I tried water with soap and rubbed and rubbed I finally read this site and tried the advice to use rubbing alcohol it came right off and did not damage my TV screen thank you so much
I would like to add that my little girl got into my office and wrote all over a Chase Lounge I have for my clients! Not to mention it's the first place my husband and I ever kissed and where he proposed to me! I immediately got online and you were the first site to show up! I tried the alcohol and now you can see only a tiny hint of the damage. No one but me and my husband can see it! Thank you sooo much!!
My son wrote om my couch with a sharpe marker and I was in panic until my husband said to "googl"it. You were the 1st site to pop up. And much to my disbelief it came right out without much effort. Thank you so much!!!
