How do you get dry erase marker off of plastic?

Question

My little graffiti artist has vandalized two television sets and his toy airplane. I was able to get the marker off of the glass portion but have not had any luck getting it off the plastic. I have tried rubbing alcohol dish soap and water with no luck. Any ideas.

Answer 1

Yes! This has happened to me plenty of times... a few too many, I must add! The trick to getting dry erase--or any kind of pen--off of plastic is very easy. All you have to do is go over the writing with the dry erase marker again, but before letting it settle and dry, you erase it. This will work for anything--even sharpies! Good luck!
