Hairspray for Permanent Marker (Use Cautiously)

Description

Some older types of aerosol hairspray contain alcohol that can act as a solvent for permanent marker ink.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Test First: This method is risky on paint; test in a hidden spot.
2. Spray a small amount of aerosol hairspray (the cheaper, alcohol-based kind often works best) directly onto the marker stain.
3. Immediately blot the area gently with a clean cloth. Do not rub hard, as this can damage paint.
4. The ink may transfer to the cloth. Repeat quickly if needed.
5. As soon as the mark is lifted (or if it's not working), wipe the area immediately with a clean, damp cloth to remove hairspray residue.
