I would try the Mr Clean Magic sponge. If you have not tried them you will LOVE 'em!

I would try soft scrub. Put it on the marker and let it sit there for about 10 minutes before trying to scrub it off. I have found that Soft Scrub takes off many markings that other cleaners won't touch.
If that doesn't work, try mr clean magic eraser. I haven't ever tried this myself, but have heard great things about it.

Fresh stains are easier to remove than old ones.
Ink- Felt Pen
May be impossible to remove. Apply Stain Out and rub on detergent. Repeat as necessary. Use Clorox liquid bleach and detergent in hottest water.
That may work i guess.

not sure how well it will work on the wooden desk, but try a magic eraser. I was actually able to get permanent marker off my son's bedroom wall with it, took a while, not one wipe and gone, but with a little elbow grease on tough stains, seems to get just about everything...good luck

Hi, I had a rimu table with black permanent felt pen on it & after a search on the net I tried toothpaste, especially if it has lemon or sodium in it. It worked like magic, just put the toothpaste onto the wood and gently rub with an old toothbrush or paper towel.
Its fantastic, takes a few minutes and a bit of elbow grease, but its all gone and the varnish wasn't touched.

I swear by nail polish remover to remove almost every stain. Also, eye-make up remover can work wonders. I use "Ultrabland" by Lush, as they are all natural and anti-animal testing. It is really creamy and smells nice, which is always a bonus. There is no need for methylated spirits here :D x
