I love my boys… like UH-LAWT.
But, to speak frankly… sometimes, I’m not so in love with their “behavior” or their “actions”…
Like when they use Sharpie to mark a piece of string for a Science experiment… Without putting a piece of scrap paper underneath?
{No, the dog liking to eat paper is not an excuse, yo}
Yes, Dad. That is Sharpie on the table that you so lovingly handcrafted…
AARRRRRRGG!!!!
Here it is all up close and personal.
What’s a girl to do?
You could fume and gnash your teeth until they crack OR you could…
Grab a little Isopropyl Alcohol and a q-tip, baby!
Just dip the q-tip in a little Isopropyl Alcohol and gently rub in a circular motion…
As opposed to a rectangular one… woka, woka.
It doesn’t take much…
I tested it out for you.
There was a faint shadow still there… very faint. Like a gently-corseted-Scarlett-Ohara faint.
So now you know how to remove sharpie from wood surfaces!
Will this work on huge Sharpie Wall Portraits by your gifted and talented three year old?
Not. Sure. And if you read this post, you’ll see why I’m a little hesitant to say go try it out.
And if you visit Courtenay, you’ll see where else not to try this little tip.
But for small marks on Wood Surfaces, it’s awesome-sauce, baby!
Do you hide the Sharpies? Thinking that might be a good idea.
