Try nail polish remover. Its acetone should do it without harming the vinvl.

Permanent marker may not be completely removable from vinyl no-wax floors!
Rub the stain with mineral spirits or turpentine on a clean white cloth.
If stain still shows, very carefully wipe with fingernail polish remover containing acetone on a clean white cloth.
If stain still shows, rub the area with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) on a clean white cloth.
Scrub the area with Armstrong New Beginning® Floor Stripper and Cleaner and a nonabrasive white scrubbing pad, following instructions on the label.

Rubbing Alcohol

Try rubbing alcohol or fingernail polish remover. Your best bet is the rubbing alcohol though. Apply the rubbing alcohol to a cotton cloth that you won't want anymore. It'll take a bit of elbow grease, but I'm sure you can get it cleaned up. It also works for boot polish on carpet. *grins*

Krudd Kutter is a water based product that is wonderful to use. It can damage the vinyl if grossly misused. Just read the directions. K-mart and Home Depot, Lowe's carries it.

Mr. Clean Magic eraser worked when my little one decided to decorate.

Go to the hardware store and get some "GOOF OFF" it's probably the only thing that will really work.
