Sharpie FAQs

Who are Sharpie?

Sharpie as a marker brand came to life in 1964 under the Sanford Manufacturing Company in Chicago. It began with only black Sharpies, but soon colours were introduced and by the end of 2002, over 200 million Sharpies had been produced!

How to use Sharpie paint markers

Sharpie paint markers are oil-based Sharpies that can be used on most surfaces for an opaque, thick line of colour. Shake the pen, uncap it and then press the tip into your chosen surface a few times to prime it. Colour will then start to flow!

How to clean Sharpie off surfaces

To remove permanent markers, it's important to work fast. Run the object under cold water to remove as much of that marker as possible, then blot at the stain gently with rubbing alcohol (don't scrub). Blot until dry.

Make sure to test the rubbing alcohol somewhere inconspicuously first to make sure your item isn't damaged.
