edit: ..so that most of the work is done for you. Like leave it overnight.

re-edit: rubbing

I wonder how many sales he got doing this.

I don't think I have ever used it to get rid of marker on plastic, but I think I might give it a shot.  Serious question about all the rubbing: will simple green break down the ink easily or do I need to just keep scrubbing?  I don't want to mess up the texture on the items I am considering using it on.

Really anything mild and plastic-safe. Simple Green is my fav too.

I remember the first time we heard of the stuff - the company was just getting started, and seriously, a door-to-door salesman came up with a spray bottle and gave us a demo. He kept spraying it in his mouth to show us how safe it was... my parents were like "STOP IT WE'LL BUY IT ALREADY" and we've used it in this family ever since.

Hahaha big_smile Nice. I'll have to try some of that stuff.

Edit: with a good rubbing.

Simple Green is fucking magic!

I had sharpie'd my name on the inside of my kevlar helmet and had to get it off before returning it. Scotch-Brite pad and Simple Green got it all out.

*edit: Rub it out, rub all that sharpie out.

However, the cartridge was covered in permanent marker. As in, when I purchased it, it looked entirely black. I have no idea how long it had been like this, but I decided to try to clean it off. After washing it with alcohol and scraping it with a magic eraser, this is as clean as I've been able to make it:

Is there any hope for cleaning it further, to the point where it almost looks new?
