How do you get felt tip pen out of wood furniture?

[BasilBabyEater]

Do you have to sand it down or is there another way?

[Finola1step]

No advice but unashamedly marking my place. Have noticed s few pen marks in my dining table (husband letting kids be creative fgs).

Will watch with interest.

Hi Finola I also asked in RL (usually don't remember to do that!) and the most common suggestions are:

Hairspray (spray it on a cloth and rub)

and

Toothpaste (spread on a cloth and rub)

Am going to try one or other.

Perfume, it get marker pen off wood, it should work on felt tip

[BasilBabyEater]

Right, I've just done the toothpaste thing and it worked a treat - every single bit of felt tip is off, no staining, nothing - it's brilliant!

Asking with interest as have coloured pencil
On wood.

The wood in question is stained. Would the toothpaste take that off too?
