Why does drawing dry erase marker over permanent marker help erase it?

Updated: 12/23/2022

I discovered this trick in a moment of pure desperation, and while I’m thrilled, I’m also confused.

It does seem a little counterintuitive that adding more marker would help to get rid of the marks, but this trick really works! Dry erase markers have a unique makeup of chemicals so that they can be easily erased from surfaces that won’t absorb them, like a dry erase board (they are, of course, not so erasable when you get them on your clothes—no, I’m not bitter). Some of those chemicals are alcohols, which act as solvents and dissolve the permanent marker, making it erasable.

Also, as I learned this week, it also works on five-year-old dry erase marker! Who knew.
