I have found hairspray to be the perfect ink remover, from pen to sharpie ink it does the trick on just about every thing. Hairspray dissolves the ink fast so spray and then wipe with paper towel immediately. You need to use the aerosol type spray not the pump type. After the ink removal use soap and water to remove the spray residue. I have used this method on wood furniture, painted walls, carpet, sofas, car upholstery and it has worked very well. Good Luck!
How to Remove Marker From a Wall





Step 1Wipe the marker stains and drawings with clean, plain white paper towels. Remove as much of the marker as possible with just the dry, white paper towel.





Step 2Dip a new sheet of plain, white paper towel in isopropyl alcohol. Rub the marker spots and art work. Be sure to test a small area for colorfastness, but it becomes a toss up, remove the marker and wall paint or leave the marker stains. Isopropyl alcohol is available at pharmacies and grocery stores.





Step 3If the marker stains remain, dip a soft, clean, white rag into minerals spirits. Rub the marker marks. Test a small area for colorfastness. Use mineral spirits with care because it is flammable. Use mineral spirits in a well ventilated area, wear gloves and safety glasses. Be sure to keep away from children and pets. Mineral spirits is available in hardware stores and home improvement stores.

Parenting Help for Removing an Ink Stain From the Wall


Hopefully kids were using the less toxic and easier to clean water-based markers when they added their artistic license to the clean wall. If they got a hold of a permanent or water proof marker, the job will prove trickier.





Like most stains, the quicker parents find and attempt to remove ink from a marker or pen, the more likely it is to come completely clean. As they work, they鈥檒l want to watch for drips that can stain the wall.





Parenting Help for Cleaning Ink Marks Without Damaging the Wall


One interesting way to attack a pen mark is bread. Parents can ball a slice and rub it on the mark like an eraser. It may not affect the toughest stains, but it鈥檚 worth trying since it鈥檚 unlikely to hurt the wall.





Stains from water-based markers can also be tackled with dishwasher soap mixed with color-safe bleach. Just because the markers are water-based doesn鈥檛 mean there鈥檒l be no scrubbing involved though. And, even though the dish soap isn鈥檛 abrasive to paint finish, vigorous scrubbing or a rough rag might leave its mark.

Krud Kutter will remove it but work in small areas and don't wet it too much.


Paint stores and home improvement stores carry the spray for around $5.
Try spraying it with Stain Go. You may have to do this a couple of time, you can also try 409 too.
Chloring Bleach and water. If that does not work, paint over the marks with Kilz or Bin, which are stain covering paint products. You will then have to repaint.
I say Mr Clean Eraser. That stuff works good getting off Sharpie markers so if it's similar then it should work. Good luck!
OMG! buy the Magic Eraser by Mr. Clean. That stuff gets everything clean!
