I work in the school setting. I 'accidentally' used a regular marker instead of a dry erase marker on a dry erase board. Needless to say, the ink would not come off or what I could remove left a horrible smudged stain.
I was using the dry erase marker and wrote right over that smudge and then erased it. The dry erase marker must have a solvent agent in it as it removed the smudge. I found I sometimes must scribble over the site and immediately rub off with a tissue for a clean dry erase board.

I just tried the alcohol and it worked like a charm!
Thanks!
How clever to figure that out. I've done the same thing wth a sharpie but never thought to do that. That little smiley face stayed there for the duration of the board. : )
My DH has a bad habit of rubbing the message off with his hand, which of course makes the oils in his hands leave a stain. I finally found for that, I could just wash it off with soap and water.
My husband gets this stuff called GP66..It worked like a charm. Ssprayed it on, left it for a about a minute and used a magic eraser and all the permanent marker came off! Looks brand new too! :)
It took me two times of doing this but it definitely saved my butt from getting grilled! I did that on my best friend's roomie's board. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much I bought permanent markers thinking they were dry erase and wrote on my whiteboard it came right off after that. Thank you, thank you so, so much!
My kids scribbled all over their new dry erase easel with a ballpoint inkpen, and I thought it was ruined! I tried this.
Staples sells a product named Nano-it White Board Restore. One pad is $2.99 online. It will remove any permanent marker from a white board by simply wiping, doesn't matter how long it has been there. it will also restore the white board by removing all of the faint colors. Amazing stuff. I had a board that someone had written a litany of information in permanent marker and could not be removed with any cleaner. This took it off in less than 5 minutes. the board was a good as new.
