Not sure if it will work, but what about the Mr. Clean Eraser?

Try Grease Lightening. If that doesn work, take a sponge and some Ajax. THat works for almost anything, but it takes some of the finish off your floor, so be careful with it. It's worked for me before with permanent marker, but I just dropped the marker on the floor, so it was one dot. Good luck!

1) I'm not a cleaning expert, but coke will probably take it off of your floors. They use it to clean up blood on the highways for roadkill.
2) If its on a painted or wallpapered wall, there's little hope.
3) Don't blame your husband, or you'll find yourself in an arguement. Remember, its the kids you have to teach.

Have you tried a mix of ammonia and a powder cleanser like Comet or Ajax? Dampen a paper towel w/ ammonia, sprinkle some of the powder directly on the stain, then rub.
If not, there's a product called Goo-Gone - it works with some elbow grease. pour some on, let it sit for a little bit, then rub.
(there's different Goo products...I like the one that's dark yellow/orangish because it smells like citrus....the others smell bad...REAL bad.
Good luck.

My kids did the same thing and I tried all the things listed so far with no luck. I would have HIM buy you a really nice scotchguarded kitchen rug and save the marks to embarras the kids when THEY have kids. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Here's a crazy idea... WD-40. Yeah the lubricant. I remember seeing an email around where it cleaned the uncleanable.

Hair spray in the pump spray type bottle. Cheaper the brand the better.

This I have experienced. WD-40 definitely gets this off! You can also try an eraser.

try applying peroxide on the marker spots, if not you can go to home depot and buy goof off if that does not work
