Can anyone help?

My 16 month old has decided that he loves drawing so much, he will do it on any white surface. Unfortunately, this includes our white coffee table.

Does anyone know how I can remove a biro mark from said item?

Thanks in advance!

Try Cif?

You could try the Doktor Power magic eraser (I got mine from Robert Dyas). It's a white block of a sort of foam- you cut off a bit, dampen it and use. It cleans loads of stuff so may well work.

Or try a baby wipe?

Try hairspray - it gets biro off a leather sofa, so might work.

Nail polish remover With a cotton bud?
( maybe do a test patch on the side or bottom, in case the colour/paint/varnish comes off)

Hairspray?

Or try a bar of hand soap, I'm always surprised what soap with a tiny amount of water will get off.

nail varnish remover (though try in an unseen area first)
