Colleague has written on a smartboard with a flip chart marker. Is there any hope of removal?

[Rockbird]

A quick google says that there are special pens you can buy to erase the permanent ink but is there anything householdy that we could use? Nail varnish remover, bleach etc!! The board is in use all day every day and we can't really have her musings stuck in the middle of it!

Or does she have to come clean, as it were?

TIA

Take a whiteboard marker, and scribble over the offending marks, then wipe off straightaway. Has always worked for me when I have picked up a permanent pen by mistake

baby wipes always worth a try...

If you write on a whiteboard with a permanent pen, you can remove it by using the same pen to go over the original (iyswim).

Not sure if that helps as I don't know what the smart board surface is.

Ethanol/meths?

Baby wipe worked a treat! Thanks a million. Just as well as she had tried to rub it off and smeared it everywhere so would have been difficult to remove with another marker. Silly woman!

Hurrah! Although it is slightly worrying what the hell babywipes have got on them that make them such heaven sent stain removers!
