Smudge on rubber strap
I have a small black smudge came from a permanent marker. I tried soap with toothbrush but no luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Smudge on rubber strap
If the Goo Gone won’t work it could make a citrus oil larger slick mark. You could make it worse. That’s it’s base solvent.
If you are careful, Goof Off has a more volatile solvent. But before you go for it in a conspicuous area of the strap, try an experiment. Take the permanent marker and make a small stroke on the underside of the rubber strap. Let it dry. Then use a Q-tip soaked with either solvent to see what works best. If neither works then seek another solution. But at least the fail won’t be visible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I agree with 77T. In my experience Goof Off is a bit more unforgiving. Soap and hot water and time will erase it I think.
