how do you remove permanent ink from a table?
The grandkids came over and during their drawing left permanent ink stains on my oak table. Anyone have an easy method to remove them?

Re: how do you remove permanent ink from a table?
dunno the effect on oak, but I heard hairspray and alchol work. I would test it on the underside just in case though.

Re: how do you remove permanent ink from a table?
It's the alcohol in the hairspray that makes it work, so just use alcohol. Be careful about the finish though. Test in an inconspicuous place. It alcohol doesn't work you may need something more agressive like toluene . . . There's this stuff called Goof Off (available at hardware type stores) that's basically a really agressive mixture of a boatload of solvents. If you'd tried everything else try that.

Re: how do you remove permanent ink from a table?
Thank you all for the suggestions. I tried the toothpaste (because it seemed plain crazy to me) and it worked! I had to rub it around a bit, but it eventually all came out.

I was going to suggest those Magic Erasers. They work wonders on pen marks, crayon and washable markers, and were successfully tested by cleaning up my wee CJ's recent marker wall mural.

I'm glad you asked this question because I have the very same problem! :-) I'm going to try these suggestions starting with the toothpaste!
