Ink on keytops

I was called by a store not too long ago to do something about a used piano
they received as a trade-in.  The former owner had identified each key with
a marker of some kind.  I don't know if it was a magic marker.  I removed
the markings with common, ordinary hair spray.  I had read somewhere that
hair spray will remove ink pen markings from vinyl chairs so I thought it
was worth a try.  Anyhow, it worked in this particular case.
