Isopropyl alcohol can be effective in removing Sharpie stains from surfaces. Simply dampen a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and gently rub the stained area until the Sharpie mark fades or disappears. Test the alcohol on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the surface.
Rubbing alcohol, and things (Example: Rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover) that would smell similar to a sharpie. Best choice though, would be rubbing alcohol.
Why?
Rubbing alcohol (or also called isopropanol/Ispropyl) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule).
If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. All alcohol have polar molecules.
There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal. The closer the molecule and chemical make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed.
Sharpies are water resistant which is why they are a permanent marker.
