Hi @adnanqureshi,

 

You can try Isopropyl alcohol or another member on here had success with Gumption. See this discussion on How to remove permanent marker from walls. However, if the staining has penetrated within the top layer of paint, the easiest option in this situation might be to re-paint the wall.

 

You might like to check out the brand-new Dulux Wash and Wear formula, which is now even more washable than before.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Mitchell,

 

Unfortunately Isopropyl alcohol didn't work.Its improved a little bit but not like totally removed.

 

Any other suggestions please.

As mentioned, one of our other members had success using Gumption, @adnanqureshi.

 

Apart from that, I'd recommend you re-paint the wall. You'll spend far less time painting it than trying to scrub the marker off. If you've used the Isopropyl, then what remains is likely a stain in the paint that might not be possible to remove.
