Removing Crayon on Wall

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to get crayon marks off the wall? I have used rubbing alcohol but it won’t come off.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

F.

What can I do next?

Thanks so much everyone. Wow, what an incredible thing the magic eraser is. I have never used it before but seen it advertised. The crayon came right off!

I don't know if this works peronally, however I seen on design show on HGTV that you can use toothpaste on a sponge to remove the crayon from the wall.

Try a Mr. Clean magic eraser. I would test it first in a hidden place to see how it does with the paint on the walls.

Well I see several others already recommended Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which is what I was going to suggest too. I have also had great luck getting stains and things off the walls with Soft Scrub. Someone else mentioned to me just this morning that a regular pencil eraser would remove crayon too- I haven't tried it myself though. Good luck :)

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser as reccommended by so many.
In the future, give your budding artist erasable crayons and they'll come off easier. ;)
Good luck!

I have to smile when I read all the advocates of the Magic Eraser. The easiest, safest way to remove little Picasso's art work from any surface is by wadding up a slice of bread and rubbing on the surface covered in crayon. You won't believe it, but it works. My, (now 12 year old) found my textured table to be her favorite place to leave her mark. I went through plenty of bread, and my dog followed me by eating up all the crumbs....it was a win win for all.

Hi F., I have found two things that work WONDERFUL for many things!! One is something called "Opps". It's in a white can type container with red and blue letters on it. It takes all kinda of things out!! Pretty cheap too from what I can remember like 4 or 5 bucks for a can) and the other is something called "grease lightening". I THINK that helps with crayons but i'm not completly sure. But it works for a TON of stuff!! So much that i gave one of my doctors that i work for a bottle one time (he's a total clean FREAK) and he bought a CASE of it for home and the office!! Between that with those Magic Erasers from Mr. Clean, they are all totally great!!! Hope it helps!!!

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. They work WONDERS on everything...my son colored on my wall a couple months ago, and the Magic Eraser took it right off.

I had a problem almost like that except it was permanent marker, and this might sound crazy, but my husband recommended it and it worked for me. It was Brake cleaner,(for cars)make sure you spray it on a wet rag first and then really fast wipe it off the wall. You will be amazed!!!

Magic Eraser works the best, but it will take off a little paint if you rub too hard!

I heard that WD40 sometimes will do it if it doesn't hurt your paint.
