Felt tip pen on wood

[peachybums]

Got up this morning to find DD had done some art work on her bed with a purple felt tip Is there any chance of me getting this off? Its wood but its kind of washed with a cream paint, its not gloss it has more of a matt finish. Any suggestions or am i doomed? Lol

try a baby wipe or a bit of washing up liquid on a j cloth. In my experience of pens, these are the 2 most effective methods. good luck.

put a little bit of perfume on cotton wool and use that (try it on a hidden bit first just incase) perfume strangely gets most stuff off, it works on permanent markers so it should be ok on felt tips.

Ooo il try a bit of washing up liquid first then il try the perfume if it doesnt work (i got some naff stuff from my grandma last xmas that should do it lol). We dont use baby wipes as we use washable wipes for DD2 but i might invest in some for the job as i dont fancy sanding it down and repainting as we were planning on getting her a new one in the new year anyway.

Thank you x
