That will take most any mark off pertty well.  I've noticed that on Chessex mats, it will also slightly fade the printed lnies, but you'd probably have to clean it with windex every day for a year for it to be an issue.  The Crystal Caste ones are a little more forgiving that way, but on the other hand the marker ink doesn't show up as nicely as on Chessex.BTW, Chessex now has a 4' x 8' reversible mat.  $99.95 at Games Plus.  I feel like the kid from Christmas Story every time I go in there and walk past it...</blockquote>
