Default Removing felt tip


"F" news@nowhere wrote in message
o.uk...
Our (not in the slightest) illustrious tenants have finally heeded the
court order and left.

Unfortunately the out-of-control offspring have had a whale of a time with
felt tips on the

80/20 wool/polypropylene carpets,

emulsioned walls (it's tending to bleed through new silk emulsion),

gloss white doors,

vinyl kitchen flooring,

matt finish kitchen unit doors and

acrylic(?) bath.

Anyone got any thoughts on the best way to remove the marks from these
various surfaces?

TIA

I'd suggest buying a gallon of "Cellulose paint thinners" from the car
spares shop (£7). The stuff's an aggressive solvent and you need to be quick
on cheap plastic surfaces but it'll quickly do the job.
It's so useful I'm surprised the guv haven't banned it. More probably, the
Green lobby have never had to repair their own vehicles so are unaware the
stuff exists .
