How To: Remove permanent marker from Legos

Lego owners sometimes decide to personalize their Lego pieces by drawing on them with permanent marker. If you've ever needed to remove permanent marker from your Lego pieces, here's a surprisingly easy way: You'll need a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a small bowl of water (only about an inch of water will be needed), and of course your marker-covered Lego piece. First apply toothpaste to the toothbrush. Next dunk the Lego piece in the water. Then place the Lego piece in your hand and lightly scrub the marker-covered area with the toothbrush. Dip the toothbrush in the water as necessary, and remember to brush lightly as brushing too hard may damage the Lego. Depending on how much marker is on the Lego this process may only take a couple of minutes.
