Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My DGD scribbled all over the middle of my large Olfa mat with a Sharpie. I didn't even try to remove the marks as I knew nothing would remove it completely. I bought a new one and took that one to my guild's free table. A member bought it and cut it up to make tote bottoms. So it was put to good use. I could have turned it over but didn't want to and no one at guild wanted a turned over mat either.
I love my life!
That is why Sharpies are labeled as permanent markers. It shouldn't effect the use of the mat. Some mats you can flip over and use the other side.

Try one of the "magic erasers" I've used it on other things with a lot of success.

Alcohol based gel hand sanitizer can work wonders at getting permanent ink off a variety of hard surfaces. I discovered that when I got to work on morning an the colour ink jet printer had leaked all its ink all over my desk.
We tried just about everything, when I decided to try the hand sanitizer. It took up all the ink. There was not a mark left on my desk.

My granddaughters have used hair spray to remove sharpie marks from my table.
I've also used this on leather purses!Originally Posted by Gmacher
Try WD-40. It works on almost everything.
Try spraying it with hairspray, let it set a few minutes and rub with a damp cloth.
Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.
Thank you all for taking the time to help me. It is much appreciated.
Try a mr. Clean magic eraser.
