I've tried vinegar, laundry detergent, alcohol-based cleaner, some "general purpose cleaner" with a pH of 9.5, dish soap, and nothing seems to work. I left the gloves hanging on my counter, and somehow the print just transferred onto the white surface of my kitchen cabinet.

Magic eraser or goo gone might work too

Magic erasers will do the trick but you have to rub lightly to not scuff up the wood

In this country, the words for mushroom and sponge are interchangeaboe, so they're called magic mushrooms. ðŸ¤

Other possibles to try are white spirits/paint thinners, or acetone/ nail polish remover. Be careful they don't damage the surface, best to test on an unseen part first.
Depending on the finish you could sand or polish it off with high grit sand paper, or even maybe rub with toothpaste as a very mild abrasive/polish.

Mild abrasive did the thing; I used pink stuff and it worked without damaging the surface

Try Goo Gone (not Goof Off - that's really strong, and while it would probably work, it can remove coatings too.
Goo Gone is really impressive stuff, just don't get the spray as it leaves too much in the air and it's kind of potent.
Fold up a small portion of paper towel, dampen it with Goo Gone and gently wet the ink, letting it do its work. Wait a minute then gently rub. You may have to do it a couple times, but I've had it remove sharpie that's been on plastic for 5 years.

WD-40 or gasoline. Obviously be careful with the gas, and probably best to try it out on a hidden part to make sure it doesn't eat the paint.

sounds weird but I would try hair spray. Specifically "Aqua Net" in the USA. I dunno what's in that shit but it removes Sharpie marker from fabric and a lot of other surfaces. Of course test on a remote corner first.
edit:oh, spray and let dry then wipe. Like I said, I don't know how it works but it works on a lot of ink.

Its a rented apartment, so I can't really paint or sand it i think
