Use non-acetone nail polish remover. Actually cleans up old plastic tops to a whiter look.

  I'm trying to slug my way thru the emails...  but if it hasn't already been said:

  If the keytop is plastic... use WD-40.  WD-40 takes Permanent Marker off of those company Erasable Boards... perhaps it would work for plastic, too?

  I received an e-mail yesterday from a lady who said that her son put permenant marker on a key.  They used toothe paste wit baking soda which I said might be too abrasvie.  So what could be used to remove permanent marker without damaging a key top.  I do not know if they are ivor or plastic. It's a Pratt  & Read grand according to her.  Thanks everyone
