HOW TO ERASE SHARPIE GRAFFITI IN THE FIELD (pics)

[sir pball]

As a chef I know how to fix it when somebody uses sharpie on a dry erase board...alcohol.

So, by bumming a few tissues and some hand sanitizer from the lovely people on my 1 train, I turned this and a half dozen other scrawls..



Into this.



In two minutes. Works on any non absorbent surface including coated paper (why destroy the poetry posters when I can fix them?)

Fight on.

1. Nice! I'm looking forward to a trip into Gotham this month.

[MineralMan]

2. Excellent!

I'll remember that.

3. It's important to clean up hate grafitti ASAP

The hate must be wiped clean. Or it proliferates, saturating and poisoning consciousness. Which is apparently what the Republicans and their base of alt.I.hate.everything.because.my.soul.is.so.shrunken role-model thug clusters want to do to Americans who live their lives with dignity and honor..

It's a fundamental act of patriotic nobility to wipe hate graffiti clean.

4. I agree

Allowing hate speech to go unchecked in any form got us in the mess we are in now.

[calimary]

24. I just saw that segment!

OMG - you're here on DU?



Congrats! This is great info! It just so happens I always have hand sanitizer in my purse and my car. Pinecone collecting, y'know. That alcohol-based hand stuff also works very nicely to take sticky sap off your fingers.

[sir pball]

25. Um...yes

That was me... I'll also be on CBS.

[calimary]

26. Congratulations! And a HUGE thank you!

You gave people all over America (and beyond) a great idea for how to get rid of nuisance graffiti and other such eyesores. Not to mention how you gave people something positive and uplifting to think about as well as to do.

[Skittles]

15. absolutely wonderful

yes INDEED

[W_HAMILTON]

16. Possibly another fix, haven't used it in awhile though, but I believe it worked once for me!

If you have an actual dry-erase marker, sort of scribble over the writing made in permanent marker with your dry-erase marker, and then wipe it away -- it should now all wipe off easily!

[sir pball]

18. That works too

But it's much more likely people will have hand sanitizer and tissues randomly at hand.

17. Love wipes out hate!!!!!nt

[Hekate]

20. Sir pball, I salute you. Many thanks for this handy housecleaning tip -- the nation needs some

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. All it took was for ONE person (our wonderful OP) to make a stand. Resistance works. . . . nt

22. Rubbing alcohol.

Next time you stay at the Trump Hotel, swipe a bottle of shampoo. When the bottle's empty, pour an ounce of rubbing alcohol in there. You can carry that in a backpack, purse, manbag, coat pocket, etc.
