Removing permanent marker - 7/12/2011 1:09:55 PM    accountantadam   Posts: 378 Joined: 5/2/2011 From: Chillicothe, Ohio Status: offline Good afternoon everyone - I bought 2 local medicines last weekend, and they have been written on with permanent marker. I was wondering the best way to remove this.  Thanks - Adam _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.

RE: Removing permanent marker - 7/13/2011 8:22:31 AM    accountantadam   Posts: 378 Joined: 5/2/2011 From: Chillicothe, Ohio Status: offline Thanks for the info everyone. I tried the nail polish remover on the bottom of one of them last night and it worked like a charm. I'd like to clean these up as well, but they have very narrow openings, would a soak in some warm soapy water work? _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.
