thank you for your help everyone.

Answer 1

Yes Goof off what she said. If erases almost anything. I found goofoff in office depot. Thats where i got myne

Answer 2

Windex and a bit of elbow grease works. I used to write quick notes with whatever I had handy if I was in the mirror. Sometimes a permanent marker was the closest thing. Windex and a bit of work, and it will be off.

Answer 3

this would be somewhat worth a attempt - it is the trick if somebody writes on a whiteboard with everlasting marker somewhat of dry wipe. What you do is get a dry wipe marker and pass over the everlasting ink, and then with some rubbing they ought to the two come off. somewhat worth a pass?

Answer 4

I use OOPS where I work. It works for just about anything and everything. Permanent markers are very difficult to get off of mirrors, but if you put some oops on a sponge and scrub...it just may come off.

Answer 5

Goof Off is my best suggestion. It has always worked on everything that I have used it on. It should work for the permanent also. Good Luck

Answer 6

there is a product called''OOPS'' that i've found will remove about anything.it's available at any hardware store in the caulking and glue section.whatever you use try on a small inconspicuous spot to avoid damaging an antique.

Answer 7

Scrape it off with a razor blade or use Goof-Off. It wiil remove anything. By anything I mean tar, crayon, ink, paint, gum, sticker residue, and probably a hundred other things.

Answer 8

Try fingernail polish remover, or just pure acetone. Be careful and only apply it to the glass. Seriously, it will damage the finish on the wood.

Answer 9

straight edge razor and alcohol would work the best. That way you won't have any cleaners that may or may not affect your antique.

Answer 10

Try rubbing alcohol
