have you tried hairspay?? I don't know if it will work but it is worth a try!

[PeggySue]

no i havent but will do so.. anybody else? please help me here ide hate to have to buy this guy a new freezer door:( ughhhhhhhhh

[Kyla Kym]

just guessing, but maybe..
turpentine or mineral spirits
I would try these as a last resort if it is a painted surface.


maybe fingernail polish remover.

You can buy cover up paint in the automotive section that is in like a finger nail polish bottle. You could try matching the color and just covering it up.

Fingernail Polish Remover will work but be careful with the enamel on the fridge itself. I would not saturate the cotton ball or whatever you are using to take it off. I use remover all the time to clean a dry erase board in myu office. Hope it works Peg.

Oh baby. No way. Here's what you need:
GOO GONE®
Get it at KMart, it is the most amazing stuff I have ever used. I go through bottles of it every year and use it for everything. It's taken the yellowing off of an old copier I have for chrissake.

Barring that, go online and hunt down my next favorite cleaner
ORANGE GLO®

This sh*t is U.N.B.E.L.I.E.V.A.B.L.E. it is so good. How good? I have electric kitchen appliances with 20 years of baked-on grease (practically shellac by now) and Orange Glo® dissolved it. I have never in my life seen anything like it. And I hate to clean. But I tell ya it is a thrill to see your old trusty chrome appliances revealed for the first time in 20 years. It even smells good. Unbelievable stuff. :p Have fun.

i use the orange cleaner that my husband uses when his hands are greasy from working on the car, or pine sol, depending on how long it has been there.

Goo Gone works wonders on most anything.

Where I used to work we used to use dry erase markers and a board. After a while the stuff wouldn't completely come off. So we ended up using alcohol on a cloth. It worked wonders. :)

[PeggySue]

also, dry erase makes a spray to clean it off, you might go to walmart and see if they have it

[PeggySue]

[chort1313]

aww I was a lil too late! I was going to suggest alcohol it has many uses!!! :) It's good for permanent ink like sharpie also.. found that researching for someone with a similar problem to yours. Glad you got it off! :)
