How do I get permanent marker off my kids table and my table?

My fiance left a sharpe where the kids could get to it so now there is permanent marker on their table they use to eat and color and it is on my card table. The card tables seems to be wood and the kids table seems to be like a chalk board (the can color on it with chalk and it comes off easy). What is something cheap that can get the markers off the tables without ruining them.



Thank you very much!

WD-40.





WD-40 is a household product usually used to lubricate doors and joints that creak but it also removes ink.



WD-40 has degreasing agents that break apart stains caused by ink and marker. Spray the areas with a thick layer of WD-40. Allow to sit for about a half an hour. Then wipe with a damp paper towel. You might have to repeat the procedure a few times to get all the ink out.



You can buy WD-40 at hardware stores.



If you're skeptical...it worked for this other woman who asked a similar question on Yahoo Answers: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>





VERY important: Test a small, inconspicuous areas first to make sure it doesn't harm the tables, but it shouldn't.



I do not recommend nail polish remover or even rubbing alcohol...these will dull the gloss finish of your tables.How do I get permanent marker off my kids table and my table?
A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. (MCME)



They are available virtually everywhere.



Just get the MCME wet an wring it out.



Rub lightly over the marks and they will disappear.



Rinse the MCME out and hang it to dry for future use.

Spray hairspray on it and scrub. Also, alcohol should work....I find hairspray easier though.

Taken from Yahool best answers, personally, I like baking soda Additional input from the asker on what the result was :Thanks..it worked....but, it took the finish off, but, I just put some polish on it and it looks fine.

Those markers are nothing but trouble!!!

I'm hiding them or throwing them out and never buying any more. My input- Wonder if this breaking rules if so it's not intentional.
