Expo markers, rubbing alcohol, andkitchen vinegarcan each help you eliminate a stubborn marker stain.
Warning
Keep in mind that some of these cleaning substances are strong stain removers.
While they remove permanent marker, they may also remove the color and pigment of plastic.

Rubbing alcohol dissolves the alcohol in the ink, breaking it down and allowing you to wipe it away.
The tip of the marker acts like a finely concentrated scrubber brush, lifting and removing the marks.
Do not scrub too hard or vigorously.

The marker will eventually fade but should last for months and possibly longer.
Hand sanitizer may remove Sharpie from plastic.
