A method and apparatus for substantially lifting erasable marked images ( 4 ) from a marking surface ( 2 ) includes a rolled transparent adhesive film sheet ( 6 ) for lifting the image. A rolled paper sheet ( 8 ) having a shade or color that is contrasting to the image ( 4 ) allowing for clearer viewing and easy handling of the lifted image when the sheets ( 6,8 ) are adhered together. The sheet rolls ( 24,26 ) are positioned in an elongated handling unit ( 12,36 ) that enables dispensing and joining of the sheets ( 6,8 ). An urging slit ( 16 ) is formed on the unit to urge consistent adherence together of the two sheets ( 6,8 ) when pulled through. At least one suction cup ( 30 ) is connected to a side of the handling unit ( 12,36 ) in order to mount the apparatus ( 10,34 ) on or near the marked surface ( 2 ). Permanent mounting and motorized operation alternatives and a surface cleaning method are provided.
