Hello @muna 

Thanks for sharing your question about removing the marker on your door. I propose using De-Solv-it 125ml Sticky Spot and Stain Remover. It is a citrus based cleaner and is effective on stains and adhesives. I suggest testing a small section with a paper towel and if it proves to be effective you can then use it on the rest of the marker. 

However, if you are planning on painting the entire door, I suggest using a 240grit sandpaper to remove the marker on the door.

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to paint a door.
