What Do You Use to Write on Glass?

If the marks that need to be written on a glass surface must also be erasable at a later time, use a grease pencil or a dry-erase marker. Grease pencils, sometimes known as glass markers or china markers, are used in laboratories to mark glassware as well as for marking glass to be installed in a construction project. Grease pencil marks are removed from glass with window cleaning fluid or a mild soap while dry-erase markers wipe off of the glass surface with a cloth.
