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

Denatured Alcohol works, but if the sharpie ink got into little casewear chips or roughness then Acetone might be a more effective and powerful solvent alternative.

Clear PVC primer for plumbing or nail polish remover works perfectly...if you go with the primer "make sure" you get clear and "not purple"

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?

ORIGINAL: epackage

That'd be embarrassing to have happen to you [8D]

I always had luck with acetone. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works decently too.
