How to Remove Sharpie from Plastic Phone Case (3 Best Methods)
Accidentally got Sharpie on your plastic phone case? Don't panic! You don't need to buy a new case. In this guide, we'll show you 3 simple methods to remove Sharpie from plastic phone cases using items you probably already have at home.
Method 1: Rubbing Alcohol (Most Effective)
Rubbing alcohol is the best way to remove permanent marker from plastic. It dissolves the ink without damaging the plastic.
- Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball or soft cloth
- Gently rub the Sharpie mark in a circular motion
- Continue rubbing until the mark is completely gone
- Wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove any alcohol residue
Method 2: Toothpaste (Gentle Option)
If you don't have rubbing alcohol, regular white toothpaste works surprisingly well.
- Apply a small amount of white toothpaste to the Sharpie mark
- Rub gently with your finger or a soft cloth for 30 seconds
- Rinse with warm water
- Repeat if necessary
Method 3: Pencil Eraser (For Light Marks)
For fresh or light Sharpie marks, a regular pencil eraser can work wonders.
- Rub the eraser gently over the Sharpie mark
- Wipe away any eraser shavings
- Repeat until the mark is gone
What to Avoid
Never use acetone (nail polish remover) on plastic phone cases. It can dissolve the plastic and cause permanent damage.
