How do you erase permanent marker from a basketball?
golden34child asked:
My friend gave me a basketball of his that was autographed by his old team. It is a nice official NBA game ball so it’s made of leather. Is there any way to get that permanent maker off of that ball?
My friend gave it to me to play with because it is a nice ball. The team that autographed it was some old team he played with a long time ago and aren’t famous or anything. They didn’t really mean anything to him, they just had a rich and generous coach. So now that I have the ball, if I can clean it up, it’d be nice.

nope
Why do you wanna take it off? If you’re gonna play with it it’ll eventually come off.
An autographed basketball signed by a NBA team? and you want to remove the autographs?
Why?
Go buy another one.
try magic eraser.
I’m gonna go with Delta on this one and say…………Nope! No can do!!! Just think of it as a ball with character!!
Permanent marker will usually come off with rubbing alcohol.
rubbing alcohol or bleach might do the trick but would probably also discolour the leather itself. I don’t thinkt her is a good way to clean it off that wont ruin the ball, i would leave it alone.
You can give it a wipe with acetone — that dissolves almost anything (but not leather). But, as somebody else asked, if you’ve got a keepsake why do you _want_ to erase it?
Try nail polish remover (acetone) or rubbing alcohol. I find that nail polish remover will remove these kinds of stains from just about anything.
Try the product called Goof Off. Probably in the glue section of the hardware store or drug store.
if rubbing alcohol and acetone dont work, try a light rub with lighter fluid….KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES UNTIL THE SMELL GOES AWAY!!!
Rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball.
I think to get the mark is to use rubbing alochal
