Method 1: Isopropyl Alcohol
- First of all, you need to test your isopropyl alcohol on a small area(hidden). To avert any further damage to your stained area, simply apply a small amount of your isopropyl alcohol on a hidden area of your floor. Select a spot under your rug or covered by a piece of your furniture.
- Simply, pour 1/4 teaspoon of isopropyl alcohol on your rag. Wipe the test spot with your saturated rag. Allow the applied alcohol sit for at least 3 to 5 minutes.
- Wipe your surface clean & assess the results. If your applied product has removed the finish on the floor or left behind any stain, then you need to choose a different method of stain removal.
- Simply, apply your isopropyl alcohol to the stain affected area by using a rag. Simply pour one tbsp of isopropyl alcohol on your clean rag. Run your soaked rag over your permanent marker stain. Allow the applied product to sit on the marker stain for at least 3 to 5 minutes.
- Next, clean the stain affected area with your fresh, damp rag or the sponge. Run your clean rag or the sponge under your tap or dip it in your bucket filled with clean water. Use your saturated sponge or rag to scrub the stained affected area conscientiously in an effort to remove the marker stain.
- Repeat this process if needed. If your applied product removed part of the permanent marker stain, apply more isopropyl alcohol to the stain affected area. Allow the applied product to sit for at least 3 to 5 minutes before scrubbing the stain affected area with your wet rag.
Method 2: Toothpaste And Baking Soda
- Simply make a paste out of one part of your daily use white toothpaste(avoid gel toothpaste) and one part of baking soda. In a small dish, combine your white toothpaste with baking soda at a 1:1 ratio. Use your spoon to mix all products exhaustively.
- Now you need to apply your mixture to the stain affected area with your clean rag. Simply spoon a portion of your mixture on your clean rag. Use your rag to apply your baking soda-toothpaste mixture to the stain affected area.
- Next you need to scrub the stain affected area in the small circular motions. Move your rag in the small circles in an effort to remove your permanent marker stain. Apply more baking soda-toothpaste mixture to your rag if needed. Continue to scrub the stain affected area until the marker stain has vanished. Be patient because this process will take a while.
- Clean the stain affected area with your wet, soapy rag. Fill your small bucket with water(warm) and soap. Dip your clean rag into your soapy water and then wring it out. Use your wet rag in order to remove the applied baking-soda toothpaste mixture from your floor.
