Baby wipes are my go to cleaning product of choice!

Or depending of the type of plastic nail varnish remover would work. Just test on a hidden bit first.

Or hairspray! Forgot about that one! It once removed permanent marker from my face after a particularly jovial party!

Yy to WD40, also great for getting pen off emulsion walls and wallpaper.

Any form of aftershave or perfume (one of the cheaper ones if you have any) was told its the alcohol that does it. We very rarely have any alcohol in the house that could be used for this task (it doesn't last long Grin) so always use smellies. HTH
