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.

1. Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball or soft cloth
2. Gently rub the Sharpie mark in a circular motion
3. Continue rubbing until the mark is completely gone
4. 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.

1. Apply a small amount of white toothpaste to the Sharpie mark
2. Rub gently with your finger or a soft cloth for 30 seconds
3. Rinse with warm water
4. Repeat if necessary

Method 3: Pencil Eraser (For Light Marks)

For fresh or light Sharpie marks, a regular pencil eraser can work wonders.

1. Rub the eraser gently over the Sharpie mark
2. Wipe away any eraser shavings
3. 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.
