Fabric & upholstery – hand sanitiser or rubbing alcohol. Dab the stain until it disappears
Walls – white toothpaste (not gel or striped) or aerosol hair spray. Don’t rub too hard or the paint may come away as well!
Carpet – hairspray (non-oil based) or rubbing alcohol. Apply with a clean cloth and blot until the stain has gone. Blot with water afterwards.
Whiteboards – If you’ve used permanent marker by mistake, go over it with a whiteboard marker and wipe clean.
Glass – mix one-part toothpaste and one-part baking soda and wipe.
