Permanent Markers

How do I remove permanent marker from the face of an american girl doll?

Recently my American Girl Doll had freckles drawn on her face... With permanent marker. The doll has a plastic/vinyal face and the marker is dried on. How do I remove the marker with out painting onto it or having the company replace the head?

1. since this is a rubber product I dont think that you will be able to remove it. It is porous so the marker will be deeply imbeded into in. You could try rubbing alcohol but I doubt it will help much.
2. I tried that fairly-new Mr. Clean Magic Erasaer, and it really works! I used it to get permanent marker off of my white leather couches.
3. hairspray, rubbing alchohol. or try one of those mr. clean magic eraser. Good luck.
4. Oxy 10, the zit cream. Apply it and put the doll in the sun. Replace it daily until the freckles are faded. It can take several days to a week, but it does work. Be careful not to get it on any real face paint, like eyebrows or lips, it will fade that as well!
5. Nail polish remover! Get a cotton ball and some nail polish remover pour the remover on the cotton ball and spread on the dolls face.
