Thankfully, Sharpie marks (even the "industrial" ones) are pretty easy to remove with rubbing alcohol

Tracing over sharpie marks with dry erase markers makes it way easier to clean depending on the surface. I've only tried it on non-porous surfaces though.

Acetone in the dry erase is doing the heavy lifting in this scenario.

From experience, that works even on soft furnishings

Acetone is the solvent in the sharpie pen.

I was doing a remodel and exposed a wall covered in Sharpie graffiti from previous clientele. Painter looked dismayed. I sent for a case of rubbing alcohol and got rid of it.
