Hello,
Our kids would draw lines and cricles on our home doors and walls
with the parmanent markers. I am just wondering is there a way to
remove them with any kind of spray or apply some kind solution so that
they could be removed? Please advise.

Any inputs are greatly appreciated.

thanks
-L

I have removed "sharpie" permanent marker marks with both lacquer
thinner and clear pvc cleaner.

Yeah, that works... but it's a lot less trouble in the long run to teach your
kids not to draw on the walls.

you might look at janitorial supply businesses in your area and
purchase a vandalism mark remover they recommend. rite-off is one
brand.
after removal and before painting the wall a kilz or bin primer must be
used to seal the stain or it will bleed thru primer and paint.
[i im wondering if the solvents in aerosol hairspray may have changed
and rendered it ineffective as a solvent remover these
days?][nailpolish remover acetone and oil, try plain acetone. 90
percent rubbing alcohol is inexpensive to try. goof off is a variety of
solvents in one can, see:

It must be the oil based kilz/primer. Markers, crayons, and even
pencil marks will bleed through latex primers & paint within a year.
