There are also commercially produced dry erase marker board cleaners and these would likely work. You can color over them before trying one of the other methods listed here. This is particularly helpful if there are darker marks left. You can try coloring over the stains with a good dry erase marker and then wiping away right away. Now, I understand that a refrigerator is a slightly different surface so you may need to experiment with a different concentration of alcohol. I have found that using rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) in at least 70% concentrations will remove the vast majority of dry erase or permanent marker from a dry erase board. I've not tried this yet, but let me know if it works. I've not tried it myself, but I've heard that makes the dry erase marker easier to wipe off to keep the surface clean. Optional Experiment: Once you get the blue stains off, try sealing the surface of your refrigerator with paste car wax. It cleans a lot of things, but when you micro scratch the surface you are cleaning, it creates a matte surface that makes the marker really hard to get off the next time. Hairspray used to work, but many hairsprays don't contain much, if any, alcohol anymore. And if you don't get all the WD-40 off, the markers won't write as well. It's also a solvent and I've found it removed some of the smooth finish off my dry erase board (may not apply to your refrigerator), so the marker became hard to get off from then onward. Here are a few suggestions I've tried, but DON'T recommend: As a bonus, rubbing alcohol also removes permanent marker if someone should accidentally take one to your board or refrigerator instead of a dry erase marker.įailing that, try peroxide. The 70% solution works, but not quite as well as the higher concentrations. If the typical 70% rubbing alcohol isn't removing everything, try the higher concentrations (90%+ solution).
