ink? on vinyl

help!!! i have marked the cream vinyl in my bathroom and it wont come off!! :eek:
I left a plastic co-op bg full of hair rollers on my bathroom floor, and then after a shower, the steam has caused the ink from the bag to transfer onto the vinyl and it wont come off! So i have a co-op logo on my vinyl! any suggestions?:confused:

    I'd maybe try nail polish remover - but test on a bit of your vinyl first to check it doesn't eat it.

    Hair spray, nail varnish remover, turps etc but like has been mentioned test on an unseen area first

    Taken from another website on removing marks from vinyl (they sell it and have recommendations for stains)
    PEN INK
    Rub the area with rubbing alcohol on a clen white cloth.
    Rub the stain with mineral spirits of turpentine on a clean white cloth.
    Scrub the area with floor stripper & cleaner product and a nonabrasive white scrubbing pad, following instructions on the label.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
