How to remove Sharpee Perm Ink from painted wood?

If the paint is in Flat or Eggshell finish, your best bet is to prime over the mark with Kilz Primer and then repaint.








If the paint is in Satin, Semi-Gloss, or High Gloss finish, WD-40 will remove the ink.





WD-40 is a household product usually used to lubricate doors and joints that creak but it also removes grease, ink, and crayon marks.





You can buy WD-40 at your local hardware store.





WD-40 has degreasing agents that break apart stains caused by ink and marker. Spray the area with a thick layer of WD-40. Allow to sit for about a half an hour. Then wipe with a damp paper towel. Repeat the procedure if necessary until all the ink is gone.





Rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, and anything abrasive could damage or even remove your paint. WD-40 should not harm your paint, unless it is in a flat or eggshell finish. These finishes will absorb the WD-40, and (as I said) your best bet for these finishes is to prime and repaint.How to remove Sharpee Perm Ink from painted wood?

3. Moisten a soft cloth with plain water and scrub the area as you remove the paste.


4. For larger stains, repeat the steps above until all of the ink is removed.


5. If a haze is left on the surface from the baking soda, wipe the area with a cotton ball moistened with a small amount of rubbing alcohol to remove.





***Rubbing Alcohol Method

2. Moisten cotton ball or cotton swab with the rubbing alcohol or hairspray.


3. Gently wipe the ink-stained area until the ink is removed.


4. If necessary, repeat with a fresh cotton ball or swab.


5. Avoid scrubbing with pressure as this can lead to removing some of the finish and may leave a mark.

3. Repeat until the stain is removed.


4. The second method employs the power of spray on insect repellent or sunscreen. Both of these products allow the water to get underneath the ink and literally make it run off of the surface.


5. After testing a small hidden area, spray the stained area until the stain is saturated with the repellent or sunscreen.


6. Wipe away with a clean soft cloth. For smaller areas it may be helpful to apply the spray by moistening a cotton swab or cotton ball and rubbing the area.
