I have the perfect solution to your RED crayon, koolaid or blood removal from carpet, clothing,etc. I stumbled upon this product in my search for cleaning products one day at my local Marcs store. The product is called GONZO.. It comes in a white bottle with red lettering and is very inexpensive. Its a clear liquid and has no odor! Its wonderful!

I had a laundry hamper (one of those white plastic ones) that had my last name and my ex’s last name on it. Now that I have a new boyfriend, I wanted to remove the old name, written in black permanent marker. I tried the hairspray, which faded it a little, but I had to rub pretty hard. I also tried Oxy Clean max, which faded it with slightly less elbow grease. I dug around in the cupboard and found lamp oil (apparently for use in oil lamps, I think maybe I used to use it in those scented diffuser kits, but I digress…). Anyway, it was amazing! It came off like magic and I didn’t have to scrub at all. Also there was absolutely no trace of the words left. It didn’t fade the marker; it erased the marker! Anyway, just thought I’d share.

For skin a little shaving cream and a dry wash cloth will allow you to easily wipe the marks off of your little ones sensitive skin. This really works! I have a neice who likes the feel of sharpie on her cheeks!

Those plastic FOR SALE signs that you put your phone number on with permanent marker can be reused. Get and use either the generic magic eraser or the Mr Clean version and rub, rub, rub. It will come off and then you can put a different phone number on it and sell again!!! I did it today. The permanent marker had been dried onto the signs for over 2 years and it all came off!
