Marker pen stain on polished porcelain

[MickBrown]

I was fitting a toilet on polished porcelain tiles, without thinking I marked the tile with a marker pen( non-permanent) and the mark will not come out. Any products that may get it out.

Hammer and chisel?

Wonder wipes?

 

[Gazzer]

Its a long shot but white spirit or meths would be my thoughts. Failing that then remove and replace.

Wonder wipes is a good shout also, try a bath rubber, they have worked for me in the past.

T-cut always works for me

I had the same problem with felt tip pen. T cut and a fein tool on low power as a buffer. Got all the marks out.

I made a poultice from kitchen towel soaked it in household bleach, left it on over night and worked a treat. (Don't use on natural stone, porcelain only!)

Hi,
No need to replace any tiles. Use Fila SR95 and this will do the trick.

Nail varnish remover.

Yep nail polish remover which contains acetone which is a great ink solvent.

A significant portion of the alcohol-based solvents in hairspray are ideal for removing permanent marker ink from ceramic and other nonporous surfaces.

Try using hand sanitiser gel

 

[Jannere]

Acetone, alcohol, chlorine or if these agents won't help, you may polish that place from marker and then cover greedily.
