how to get biro off oilcloth tablecloth?

[krisskross]

even cilit bang hasnt worked!

Have you tried babywipes? Always amazed at what they will remove. Or something slightly abrasive like Cif.

Ooh, marking my place as mine is ruined with biro!
I can tell you what doesn't work as I've tried Cif with bleach, bar keepers friend, magic sponge thingy, nail varnish remover, normal bleach, milk...

bloody hell mega- thats an impressive list! oh well, maybe there is something that someone can suggest....

Hairspray.

Leave WD40 to soak onto it, then scrub with cloth?

I was going to suggest the usual suspects but can see Meg has already tried them, so I'll second Pepsi's WD40 is suposed to get most things out

Or you're just going to have to treat yourself to a new one

Have you tried Astonish? (Available from lakeland). It removes a lot of stuff (took crayon off my walls, other stains off table etc, but without damaging). Worth a try....

thanks everyone.....
