This is the best cleaning tip I ever recieved. It only took me 5 minutes to remove the stains. Another helpful tip; I used a heavy duty Scotch Brite Pad with the toothe paste and it didn't remove the finish.

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! Comments By: Pam on 2006-07-10

Amazing Tip Comments By: Jessica on 2006-09-15

Thank You So Much!!! I thought my brand new wooden kitchen cabinet was ruined. It took all of 2 minutes with a paper towel and the marker stain was gone.

Great tip!! Comments By: Archie on 2006-10-28

Our entire coffee table was marked with black, red & blue permanent market. It took us less than 5 minutes to erase it completely!! Fantastic tip. Thank you

This tip is great! I did not think it would work, but it did! It is so easy. It took out the permanent marker from our oak table in a snap. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Sorry, but it didn't work Comments By: Anon on 2010-01-30

My 3 year old daughter took a washable marker to my sons desk. Needless to say, it came off of her hand but not the desk. I tried the toothpaste trick and it did not work. It didn't even phase it!

Discovered permanent marker stains on my wood veneer table the day after an overnight visit from my partner's children. Felt sick about it as the table is only 6 months old. Tried a variety of methods before turning to the internet. This tip completely removed the stains and my table looks good as new. The veneer is undamaged, and I didn't need to use chemicals that might have damaged the glue under the veneer. MANY THANKS!
