How to Get Permanent Marker off of a Game Cartridge

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR GETTING MARKER OFF OF THE LABELS!!!

   That is basically permanent, and I do not recommend attempting to remove marker from the label, short of removing the label and replacing it.
2. 2

   Step 2: Get some materials.

   You'll need:
   Paper towels, and you can use either isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, or you can use Clorox wipes.
   
   Check that the Clorox wipes do not contain bleach. , Don't go crazy, it doesn't take a lot to remove it.
   
   Use a paper towel and hold it over the label while you are cleaning.
   
   Also, cover the cartridge opening if the marker is near the opening. , Push hard enough to remove the marker, but don't push so hard the paper towel begins to rip.
   
   If you are using a Clorox wipe, the soap that is on the cartridge should turn black. , The marker should start lightening. ,,, The cartridge should not feel as if it is breaking or being crushed.
   
   The paper towel also should not rip. ,
