    Suggestions for getting grease pen off tubs?

    I have recently gone a tad bit overboard with my new grease pens on my tubs, and need to take some off.

    Wiping it down takes WAAAAYYY too long, so my question is this:

    What type of solvent/material would be safe to use to remove grease pen on a snake tub with snakes in it?

    Hey Heather,

    We use goo-gone ... just a little bit on a paper towel will clean the entire front of a CB-70 ... then, some warm soapy water afterwards will take the "goo-gone smell" away.

    Hope this helps a little.

    I've always just used a dry paper towel... It just smears whenever I get it wet and I have trouble getting those extra smears off... It seems to work a ton better on harder plastics like polycarb... I've always had a little trouble writing on softer plastic tubs like 6 qt Sterilite and Rubbermaid as well...

    Thanks guys...

    I heard about Goo-Gone, but didn't want to get it and worry about the toxicity factor.

    I can now rest easy.

    I don't use those pens, but those Mr. Clean magic eraser sponges work better than anything I've ever seen. Those things really are magic.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    well goo gone is made from oranges, so I doubt its that harmful, especially if washed off afterwards.
