Accidentally got permanent marker on your laminate outdoor table? Don’t worry—there are several easy and effective ways to remove the stain without damaging the surface. Here’s how:

1. Rubbing Alcohol: Dampen a cloth with rubbing alcohol and gently rub the stain. The alcohol breaks down the ink, making it easier to wipe away.

2. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub gently with a soft cloth.

3. Toothpaste: Non-gel toothpaste can act as a mild abrasive. Apply a small amount, scrub in circular motions, and wipe clean.

4. Magic Eraser: A melamine foam sponge (like a Magic Eraser) can lift the ink with light scrubbing. Test on a small area first to avoid surface damage.

5. Nail Polish Remover: Use acetone-based nail polish remover sparingly on a cotton ball. Wipe the stain, then rinse the area with water to prevent residue.

For stubborn stains, repeat the process or combine methods. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure it won’t harm the laminate. With these tricks, your table will look good as new!
