    try ajax and one of those green scourers- a tiny amount of white spirit on cloth- the latter one does work- just did it myself.

    Don't use a scourer, ajax or steel wool on it, it will ruin the surface.

    Isopropyl alcohol may get it off with a vileda cloth.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Hairspray is often effective for pen and biro marks. Just spray on and wipe off.

    Baby wipes are good, or if you are nervous you can buy special wipes for computer screens, LCDs etc. These also work a treat. My children do this all the time!
