I told my son he could use the cutting mat area to wrap presents on the dining room table. I discovered that he had used a Sharpie to make tags and it bled through to the mat. Is there any way to clean this off?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!

Try rubbing alcohol. I don't know if it will work. It does take sharpie off of plastic though, so maybe??
The same thing happened to my mat, except I did it, so I can't blame anyone. It was 5 years ago and I haven't been able to get it off, however, it doesn't hurt the mat and it doesn't rub off on fabric, so I've learned to live with it.

Try nail polish remover.I know it works on plastic.
Careful with this idea, nail polish remover will melt some plastics! Test on an edge first!Originally Posted by dluvs2quilt
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
Yes, I totally agree. Nail polish remover is a whole different kind of remover.
Thank you! This board is the best. The rubbing alcohol is what I tried first. It definitely lightens it. I think I'll let him work on it too since he feels bad about it!
Use dry erase marker over original. It will take off most if not all
As a school teacher, this works for sharpie marks on white boards. I would give it a shot!
Ditto this!
I love the smell of Best Press in the morning!
