Below is a video giving a tip for removing permanent marker from walls.
It seems like in almost every home, at one point or another, a child gets hold of a permanent marker and begins to color all over the walls, and everything else.
Below is a simple tip for how to remove such stains -- rubbing alcohol.
Just put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and begin rubbing the permanent marker marks off the wall.
The video below gives a full demonstration.
It obviously works better, and is easier to remove, the sooner you catch the little artist at work.

Many readers have recommended this product, while others have said it hasn't worked for them.
Here are all the things that readers have shared with me:
Carrie O. says: Give the kid that made the masterpiece on the wall the magic eraser and let them use THEIR elbow grease to remove the marker from the wrong place. That worked well when my daughter colored all over the back seat of the car on a long trip. The magic eraser MAY dull glossy paint, requiring repainting... hopefully not.
Nicole says: Magic eraser also takes off the first few coats of paint as well! lol Tooth paste works awesome!
Leslie says: Magic eraser does not take off permanent marker! I tried it and it didn't work for me.
Nikki says: My son drew on our sofa, the wood floor and his wall with permanent marker. The sofa was not able to be cleaned, but I used the magic eraser on the floor and wall (careful it takes off the paint if you scrub too hard).

I used hairspray to get permanent marker off my walls. It eats paint but if you clean it off fast enough it works great!
I used a magic eraser and the John Freida hair spray on my wall because my son got into my markers and painted the wall himself and nothing worked. Not bleach or ammonia.
Not even hair spray alone worked, along with a wash cloth, but once I added the magic eraser it easily took it off.
