- An Australian mother-of-three has asked for help on a Facebook group
- She shared a photo of a door after her son drew over it with permanent marker
- The mother is desperate for advice as she has a house inspection in Melbourne
A Melbourne mother-of-three has taken to a Facebook group to ask for help after her two-year-old son drew all over a door using permanent marker.
The mother asked cleaning experts for urgent advice as she has a house inspection in less than a week and the marker 'won't budge'.
The woman said she had attempted to use hairspray, eucalyptus oil and a magic eraser but the products had simply smudged the marker and appeared to make it worse.

'Morning Mums I NEED HELP!! We have a house inspection next week and Mr 2 has decided he would do some decorating,' she said.
'It's permanent marker. How can I get this off?'
Mothers took to the comments section offering their solutions.
Possible remedies: Asking for help on a Facebook group, other mothers suggested nail polish remover, hand sanitiser and even insect repellent, Aerogard
Nail polish removers, Dettol wipes, alcohol, hand sanitiser and toothpaste were listed, along with insect repellent and vinegar.
'I used gumption and a scrubber, gently though so it didn't make the paint come off when our toddler got hold of hubby's permanent markers he uses at work which he forgot he left laying around,' another woman suggested.
'Would never know she drew all over the door and wall.'
It's not known whether she has had luck with any of the solutions but promised to keep everyone updated with her progress.
