How do you get pen marks off a dildo ?

depending on the material you can try alcohol (rubbing alcohol not booze) Don't know about if its safe to use afterwards, I guess it depends on the amt. left over.

Forgot to add, clean the alcohol off with antibacterial soap and water.

 

Another thing you can try if the rubbing alcohol doesn't work is toothpaste[/I. I've used toothpaste in the past to remove ink from clothing after it was washed and it works wonders.

 

What cleaning method you use depends on the type of ink and what surface the ink is on. A porous surface may mean the ink won't come out. The problem is a lot of the new synthetics that dildos are made of react badly to alcohol, and it could cause a chemical reaction weakening the material. If the ink is on the surface soap an water should do the trick as long as the ink is non-oil based, but if the ink has stained or seeped in it may be time to invest in a new toy. Never thought my knowledge of art materials would be useful in *this* context, lol.

 

Chemist here...and this is such a chemistry question...haha so basically I'd look at this if I were you. Chemical Compatibility Database from Cole-Parmer

The reason why it's important to look at this site or understand is because it tells you if your "cleaning" chemical can potentially destroy your material...so ya, there might be some substances that get off the ink but leave damage to the silicon and you don't want that.

Usually, the go-to for chemists is "clean with acetone for polar substances". However, I think that with acetone, if you leave it on for too long it will corrode the material...so just use the website as a tool. On the left side click on silicon and on the right side pick your chemical...then click "see results". It should tell you at least some thing...

 

I don't know how and where you cleaned it exactly but maybe you can still use it with a condom?
