Latex rubber in the eraser, steel in the clip that holds the eraser on, dyes and epoxy in the paints, adhesives in the glue that holds the two wood halves together, graphite and clay in the "pencil lead". Colored pencils can use dyed wax in the central "lead".

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.
