Spray deodorant also does the trick

  Any organic solvent will do it. Acetone is ideal, in a metalworking shop Sharpie marks are constantly being cleaned off metal using acetone.

    I hate recommending acetone flippantly. Sure, it will definitely take it off, but I'd bet that for a lot of the whiteboards in use today it would also take off the surface of the whiteboard. I do love acetone but it's my solvent of last resort.

    Acetone can also dissolve plastics so you don't want to use to remove sharpie marks except on glass or metals (or possibly wood). For anything else 99% rubbing alcohol works pretty well.
