My daughter decided to do a Picasso on her sister's Bumbo seat with a black pen and I can't get the marks off. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove pen marks from rubber? Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

So far the hairspray and magic eraser haven't done the trick on the pen marks. Thanks for all the great tips and I'll try the Oops product.

Try Mister Clean Magic Erasers...I LOVE THOSE! You can use them to clean anything except for dark colored painted walls.

We have a Bumbo and since they are sealed foam, you should be able to use the magic eraser on it without damaging it. Try a small section first to see if it works.

I use those all over my house to clean, finger prints off light color painted walls, tile grout, glass shower doors (won't scratch), bathrooms, etc.

Good luck

At the container store, they sell a solution called amodex - it comes in a small bottle for about $5. I used it on a maple colored desk after my kids made a mess with an exploded pen. It worked even though the stains were old since it was months later before I came across this stuff. good luck.

Try a magic erasure. I swear those things work on almost everything.

There's a solution you can buy at Ace called Oops ,it's a multi purpose remover. I spilled oil based paint on my wood laminate floors and it cleaned up nice. Jennifer

Rubbing alcohol should work.

If you don't have any, try hairspray. Weird but true!

Yes, hairspray works on ink. Also maybe try Lighter Fluid or the Magic Clean Eraser! Good Luck!

try a white eraser. I know you can find them at the art store, but I am sure you can find them at target. They are not fancy erasers, but I have definitely removed sharpee marks off plastic with it.
