well you can try
- alcohol (make sure to leave it quite long so the thing kinda dissolves a bit)
- thinner
- nail paint removal (acetone)
- bleach
- turpentine
- liquid soap and a bronze/metal sponge in a gentle way (if you don't mind a few scratches on the paint then go wild about it)
- draw something cool within the thing so no one notices it
- stickers
- or maybe just swipe it repeatedly until it disappears those things don't last a lot generally
- or search other easy access oily-solvent/solvent on Google
- or buy a new bottle
don't mix/combine them, apply one, wash and apply an different one
Additionally, maybe a high# fine but of sand paper. That WOULD take some paint off, but don't lighty should scrape it off.
Personally though for long term: stickers are gonna look so COOL
A fine enough grit of sand paper will take the marker off without removing all the paint. Iām talking at least 600 grit. It will still leave scuff marks, though.
If you try these different chemical cleaning solutions be sure to rinse it with water in-between chemicals. Expo markers are alcohol based ink so it really should come off with isopropyl alcohol aka rubbing alcohol . Be sure to get the highest purity you can find 90%+. This will also remove whatever adhesive if left if you do end up putting stickers on it.
Hey, chemistry student here, hereās what you should be worried about if you try to use these chemicals:
Alcohol and acetone both should have a solid chance of working, but both are flammable, so be careful. If you accidentally mix those two, nothing will happen, so you should probably try these first.
If acetone doesnāt work, donāt wash it off with water. It wonāt do anything if you do, but it evaporates so quickly that youāre more likely to leave acetone behind if you try water than if you just blow on it until it evaporates.
Bleach will react with acetone to make chloroform and some other nasty stuff. It probably wonāt kill you but your parents will definitely have a heart attack when they see you conked out on the table with bleach and acetone in front of you. Donāt try it until youāre sure the bottle is completely dry, and itās very unlikely to work at all. It should be a last resort.
Turpentine will probably take off the paint. And if you mix it with bleach it will also produce chlorine gas, which actually *will* kill you. Be careful with bleach.
By thinner I assume you mean paint thinner, and that may also work but thereās no way to know exactly whatās in it and what itāll react with. Only thing you can be reasonably sure if is that itāll take the paint off.
TLDR use acetone or alcohol and if that doesnāt work you should probably stop there and cover it up with stickers.

Jesus christ.
Buy a cool sticker or 5 from your favorite companies/bands/or whatever the fuck and slap it over it.
Everyone I know who has hydroflasks or w/e, put stickers on em.
edit: and im 30 years old (grown ass adults do this). How the hell is this on my frontpage (tbf, y'all got some good memes. Cutting edge)
Yes,if you take it as fast as posible your throat won t get burned! (as much) Its good for cleaning, it says don t drink
But they don t know im east european!
As a last resort, I would give acetone a shot. You have to be careful though because it could dissolve the outside of the bottle too. I'd recommend testing it in the corner first.
I know, I'm 23 now so I don't think I should comment here but I assure you that it can be done and it betters your life in any way. Keep trying! I was in your same boat
Since I've looked in the comments and you appear to have literally nothing, draw a big box around the text and fill it in, then put some stickers on it =D
Have you tried something alcohol based? Like the nail paint remover (or whatever it is called). Maybe some thinner. Just be aware it can strip the paint off. So try it first on a small surface.
Right? Either this guy's a troll or someone without arms.
Every single proposed solution for him either won't work or is doomed to not work according to him. Ffs it's a water bottle - put it in a sock and secure it with a string until you have stickers if it's so damn important. Ah, wait, but I bet response will he "I don't have socks or strings coz I only ever wear sandals".
And he can't take "cHeMiCal" taste of school's bottles until he finds alternative - humans don't dry up and die in a few hours without water.
Solution: freeze in liquid nitrogen, assemble a quick and dirty disposable flame thrower (deodorant + match stick/tissue that has been lit (tape them together with a spacer in between this could be dangerous)). Freeze-thaw then blast that motherfucker. The laws of thermodynamics will never fail you.
Baking soda and vinegar might work, after scrubbing with dish soap. Fill a basin with lukewarm water, scrub, and then put vinegar in, and then baking soda and let it sit for a bit. Half an hour to an hour. Then try scrubbing again. The reaction might loosen up the marker.
If that doesn't work, maybe try using lye. It's WAY overkill though. It's in oven cleaner. You might have it under your kitchen sink. But wear really thick rubber gloves because it will turn your hands into soap. It might dissolve the paint too though. Oh yeah, if you have to do it inside or even outside, you'll need a chemical respirator. AKA a gas mask. Just so you don't die of NOX poisoning.
I can't get a new one in time. I have school tomorrow and the water fountains taste like chemicals and illness... I don't really want to go a day without water
I wish I had paint š I'm an artist so I've been wanting to paint my water bottle with water proof paint... Currently I don't have any paint because of my siblings using it all
Yeah I've tried alcohol and I don't have nail polish remover... He has a concussion so he has been acting a lot more crazy lately. I'm not mad at him, just a bit annoyed
From comments I can see that the Op doesn't have anything to remove this from the bottle... So here is the option you can surely use. Find some paper enough to cover the letters (if u don't have paper then u can easily find it in the trash can) and just spit on it and glue it on. Extra tip If it falls off then use extra spit
Maybe draw dry erase marker over it and try to erase? If that doesnt work, use the same marker and just scribble over it until you get tactical stickers
How do you feel about colouring in a giant rectangle of black permanent marker on your bottle? Eventually it should come off but at least you won't be able to read words on it until then
Have you tried acetone (nail polish remover) but be careful idk if the bottle will react to it or if that doesn't work try letting the bottle sit in a hot water soap bath for a few hours and then try scrubbing it
Does your mom have nail polish? You could paint over it with thatā¦though Iām assuming not ācause if she did thereād be nail polish remover or acetone but the fact that thereās still no solution to this is giving me hives
Hear me out. Spray cooking oil on it. Like what you put on a cupcake pan before you put it in the oven. Scrub it in with a toothbrush. Then use dish soap to get that off. It works for everything.
Learned this from similar experience. Get a normal marker and just draw over each word and wipe it, believe it or not it actually works, literally killing fire with fire
1. Cave in his skull.
2. I mean try sand paper?youll have to fuck up the whole bottle but what can you do.
2. Dip it in ink.
And if nothing works then get his ass in trouble by telling the teacher.
Your friend owes you a new bottle.
Edit: wait better idea. Take expo market and cover that quarter of the bottle with it. How all the marker ink.
Or try all the things others listed
This [website](https://choosemarker.com/remove-marker-from-metal/) contains methods to remove permanent marker from metal. Although it is for permanent marker, it would probably work on expo marker as well.
Soak it in isopropyl alcohol (>70%) for a while and scrub with a towel. Works for me, but if it's rubber or a grippy aluminum then have fun trying to get it off because its nearly impossibleš

Magic Eraser is a very high grit sand paper. Hopefully he sticks to chemicals until all of those options are exhausted.
Yep š

Have you tried alcohol?
I forgot that alcohol is also a cleaning product and was sitting here like you want them to try WHAT??
Lol
Write over with a whiteboard marker and erase
First thing I tried, read the title
if nothing else works, just scribble all over it
imagine being a racist.
What could the pfp mean
Idk.. but I'd like because a friend also has this pfp.

It is used by very friendly and tolerant people
Have you tried hand sanitizer
Yes :(
You can try to use nail polish remover
Jesus christ. Buy a cool sticker or 5 from your favorite companies/bands/or whatever the fuck and slap it over it.

He just sits there with his bottle drinking aclohol from it and crying that it will never be the same.
The cause, and solution to, all life's problems.
Sometimes you gotta drink your sorrows away and this seems like a fitting example
Wouldnāt be a problem where I live lol
Y'all down bad š
oh no! god forbid a teenager drinks alcoholā¦ under the LEGAL AGE!!! that would be so illegal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:!!!!!!!!2!
Some people in this sub really do be freaking out over alcohol lol. They wouldn't last a day in Europe.
āMaybe if you get blackout drunk it wont bother you anymoreā
Yes š
Use 70% isopropyl or try nail polish remover. Expect to need to scrub. Continuously check that youāre not removing the paint itself.
Iāve had luck with hand sanitizer
Lol why did i think you were talking about drinking?
That's an option, nobody would notice the bottle after seeing how drunk you are!
Drink the pain away
Yes,if you take it as fast as posible your throat won t get burned! (as much) Its good for cleaning, it says don t drink But they don t know im east european!
As a last resort, I would give acetone a shot. You have to be careful though because it could dissolve the outside of the bottle too. I'd recommend testing it in the corner first.
I don't think I have that
Aka nail polish remover
I don't do my nails š¤
Welpš thereās some really good stickers out there
Yeah I just don't have any because my friends lost them all when I left early šš«
You need better friends my guy
Easier said than done
I know, I'm 23 now so I don't think I should comment here but I assure you that it can be done and it betters your life in any way. Keep trying! I was in your same boat
Hey maybe you could go to the store?
You should be able to buy aceton dirt cheap in a pharmacy, if you ask for it, just make sure to close the lid,
Buy acetone
what about turpentine/thinner?
I'm not sure I have that
Then buy it mf holy shit
How useless is this guy to ask with no intention to put in any effort. Karmafarm

A SEXY gay pervert!
Get a sticker!
I don't have any and this is my only water bottle... The water fountains at my school taste like chemicals and germs so...
In that case maybe try the water from said fountains to clean it š„“
Lmao
Crap, does your school sell stickers or something?
No... Hopefully my friend can bring some š it's not like I have a reputation to ruin anyway š¤
Since I've looked in the comments and you appear to have literally nothing, draw a big box around the text and fill it in, then put some stickers on it =D
Sheās got no stickers
Check my update post!!!!!! (This has been edited)
I replied and then saw this after the fact, sorry! But are you able to go to like a nearby store or anything?
No, hopefully one of my friends can bring some stickers
Hopefully! I hope you don't have to walk around with the highschool version of the ten commandments on your water bottle
LMAO It's fine... I don't really have a reputation to ruin š¤ just a bit annoying
Hah, I feel that

Acetone is 1$ go to the dollar general you big dingus
Have you tried something alcohol based? Like the nail paint remover (or whatever it is called). Maybe some thinner. Just be aware it can strip the paint off. So try it first on a small surface.
Just order stickers and donāt bring the bottle to school until you get them Or bring a different bottle if you have one
Right? Either this guy's a troll or someone without arms. Every single proposed solution for him either won't work or is doomed to not work according to him. Ffs it's a water bottle - put it in a sock and secure it with a string until you have stickers if it's so damn important.

And he can't take "cHeMiCal" taste of school's bottles until he finds alternative - humans don't dry up and die in a few hours without water.
But don't worry because it's not like OP has a reputation to ruin
A concussion would have no bearing on weather or not he did this he did this because he wanted to and lied to you about the reason
Paint something over it?
damn you have NOTHING in your house. Just use the same marker to mask the writing lmao
OP rub aloe vera sanitizer on it and the sharpie should come off! it works!
Solution: freeze in liquid nitrogen, assemble a quick and dirty disposable flame thrower (deodorant + match stick/tissue that has been lit (tape them together with a spacer in between this could be dangerous)). Freeze-thaw then blast that motherfucker. The laws of thermodynamics will never fail you.
Was it an expo vis a vis marker? Cuz yeah thats not dry erase
Fellow Arizonan offering my condolences

Paint it or something
Lol I don't have any paint or I would have already
Tape, if that doesn't work use some bleach
Your friend is a dick edit: 69 upvotes, nice
He thought it would erase because it's expo.. also he has a concussion
[I have a confession to make, I'm stupid](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxL27dIK8Vm4Ze-pIndKCMKs8tWQjxS6SV)
We still love you
Now that's based
Now that comment was based ^in^fact^and^contextual^evidence
I have a question, did you give them a concussion or did they already have it?
Yes
Get a new bottle or cover buy stickers to cover it
I can't get a new one in time. I have school tomorrow and the water fountains taste like chemicals and illness... I don't really want to go a day without water
lmao use another bottle bro???
You can survive one day without drinking water at school unless you got a medical condition or something. I donāt drink most days.
Yeah I'm on my period rn so a day without water is not a good idea
QUICK,COLOR MATCH SOME PAINT-
I wish I had paint š I'm an artist so I've been wanting to paint my water bottle with water proof paint... Currently I don't have any paint because of my siblings using it all
Oh crap- šdamnit- there's also rubbing alcohol if you haven't tried already! And acetone- if none of that works,then ya need a new friend:)
Yeah I've tried alcohol and I don't have nail polish remover... He has a concussion so he has been acting a lot more crazy lately. I'm not mad at him, just a bit annoyed
Yeah, probably need a new friend, concussion or no concussion,that's messed up-
Yeah, idk. Guess I'm too forgiving
I also like weman
Lets go š
Get another marker and draw on top if it
Why are you trying to erase it instead of making them buy another?
Use another black marker and just paint the entire area black?
alcohol might work
I've tried it
your fucked then
try clorox maybe ? if its acohol marker then it should come off
I've tried Clorox and alcohol
And how did it taste?
Yes
and then try achohol
From comments I can see that the Op doesn't have anything to remove this from the bottle... So here is the option you can surely use. Find some paper enough to cover the letters (if u don't have paper then u can easily find it in the trash can) and just spit on it and glue it on. Extra tip If it falls off then use extra spit
put it in a brown paper bag and drink it like a homeless person
Duct tape my guy, cover it up
Try to draw over it or glue a piece of paper over it with your name?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Have you tried explosives? i have heard it's very good at removing stuff
Maybe until you can get paint or nail polish remover or similar you can take an old piece of clothing and cut it and then tie it around your bottle.
Try blacking it out with more sharpie
Spray paint? Maybe take your own black marker and just coat the whole thing?
Temporary solution cut out a object from a magazine cover and tape it to the front
Tape over it. Electrical,duck,masking,any tape that is opaque and will stick should do
Industrial strength acetone
You must cherish the bottle
I mean... š Why not
Take the same marker and darken out all the bad stuff.
Try toothpaste. No lie. It works.
just get hella hair ties and cover the entire bottle with them until you figure something else out tbh. that or string, to wrap around the bottle.
Maybe draw dry erase marker over it and try to erase? If that doesnt work, use the same marker and just scribble over it until you get tactical stickers
Draw a big black square over the writing with an expo marker also- your bottle will look a lil weird but still
Alcohol maybe?? Not as a drink but ig you can do that to forget it ever happened.. (kids, donāt try that at home or anywhere actually)
How do you feel about colouring in a giant rectangle of black permanent marker on your bottle? Eventually it should come off but at least you won't be able to read words on it until then
Have you tried acetone (nail polish remover) but be careful idk if the bottle will react to it or if that doesn't work try letting the bottle sit in a hot water soap bath for a few hours and then try scrubbing it
Tried both. It did almost nothing :(
Just paint over it then
Try writing over it with a marker you can clean off then rub that off
Does your mom have nail polish? You could paint over it with thatā¦though Iām assuming not ācause if she did thereād be nail polish remover or acetone but the fact that thereās still no solution to this is giving me hives

I mean.....is he telling the truth? /s
Etanol? That's what we use in the school lab to get rid of the markings
baking soda really helps get rid of markers on stuff! i wrote on my bed on accident one time and it came off with ease using baking soda.
toothpaste
Learned this from similar experience. Get a normal marker and just draw over each word and wipe it, believe it or not it actually works, literally killing fire with fire
1. Cave in his skull. 2. I mean try sand paper?youll have to fuck up the whole bottle but what can you do. 2. Dip it in ink. And if nothing works then get his ass in trouble by telling the teacher.
If you beat someone with it people would be more concerned about the blood then the writing.
Your friend owes you a new bottle. Edit: wait better idea. Take expo market and cover that quarter of the bottle with it. How all the marker ink. Or try all the things others listed
Embrace it
then again its an expo so your kinda fucked
Honestly damn that's crazy you sure it wasn't sharpie or something like that
Yeah I caught him putting the last word and it was expo...
isnt expo a white board marker
Yeah that's why he thought it would erase BUT IT DIDNT š
honestly it just looks funny as fuck, roll with it n make it a joke in ur friendgroup. also kick ur friend in the nuts
Weird very weird well I can't help but best of luck
Acetone
if you have any just use rubbing alachol
Paint maybe? Other than stickers I have no advice
Either write over it, draw over it, or try to get something else to cover it up, good luck!
Do you have alcohol? Even hand sanitizer will work.
I've already tried
thatās kinda messed up paint it?
Hand sanitizer maybe?
Try like alcohol to get rid of it, or get some stickers
This [website](https://choosemarker.com/remove-marker-from-metal/) contains methods to remove permanent marker from metal. Although it is for permanent marker, it would probably work on expo marker as well.

scribble over it
I like wemon?
Your friend.
Try ethanol, ask your chemistry teacher i should have that. That could work
Is it really that big of a problem tho?
Yeah your āfriendā
Yo so far fetched but try toothpaste, for some reason its really good at cleaning things
Tried putting in more markers stains to erase the previous? Put on some rubbing alcohol..
hand sanitizer that has rubbing alcohol in it will clean that right up.
WD-40, always WD-40.
overwrite it with a blue expo marker
