Sorry, posting for traffic.

I let my dd use regular felt pens on her new easel. I can’t get it off. I did test to see if it wiped off and it did but now it’s dry it won’t.

The easel isn’t your typical whiteboard but more like wood with some sort of covering..

Any tips on how to get it off please!?

WD40 might work.

Write over it with whiteboard specific pen and wipe off. Works for permanent marker

Some of these replies will damage the surface, use the suggestion made by JohnLapsleyParlabane.

Google says toothpaste (not the gel stuff) and a damp cloth.

When DD took felt tips to gloss doors, baby wipes and elbow grease worked.

Good Luck

The first think I tried was baby wipes... the second, vodka! 😂🤣

I googled it and saw the white board marker thing so will get some tomorrow!

Try a regular pencil eraser. It works on a regular white board with permanent marker.
