REMOVING CRAYON ART WORK FROM THE WALL(S)

As parents we all are faced with the crayon art work on the wall by our little one(s) at some point, but if you have not experience it i must say you are a lucky one. If you are not one of those lucky parent(s) here are some easy ways to remove those brilliant colors off the wall(s)......

Disposable Cleaning Erasers:

Use a magic eraser this product works miracles on painted and some other surfaces. Other manufacturers have similar versions, making it easy to find a disposable cleaning eraser that will get your walls crayon free. On heavily textured walls you may need to use a little effort, but it will work. 

These erasers should not be used on some surfaces, including polished/glossy surfaces, wood paneled walls, satin, or dark finishes. Test first in a hidden spot to be sure that you won't damage the finish of your walls.

 

WD-40:

WD-40 works really well to remove crayon on painted walls. Simply spray a little of the product onto a cleaning cloth or paper towel. Wipe over the crayon marks. The crayon usually comes right off. For stubborn or older crayon, more effort may be needed. WD-40 also has a No-Mess Pen that is a great tool for getting crayon off of your walls, and makes less of a mess than using the spray version. WD-40 gets crayon off of painted surfaces really well, but the spray WD-40 can be a little messy. The oily residue will need to be washed off of your walls after you remove the crayon marks. 

WD-40 is also good to get crayon off of wallpaper, plastic, shoes, chalk boards screen doors, and rock walls.

 

 Dish soap & Blow Dryer:

 One of the sure ways to remove crayon from walls is to use a blow dryer and regular mild dish soap. Turn on the blow dryer and blow hot air on the crayon marks. The wax will heat up and begin to melt making it easier to wipe away. Using a cleaning cloth or a paper towel with a little liquid dish soap, gently wipe away the crayon marks. This method is safe to use on most wall surfaces, but test first in a hidden spot to be sure. There may be a little effort needed to remove crayon on heavily textured walls.

 

 

 

White Toothpaste:

Rub the artwork with white toothpaste. Then rinse. There may be a little effort needed to remove crayon on heavily textured walls. 

Test first in a hidden spot to be sure that you won't damage the finish of your walls.

 

 

 

Baking Soda & Water Paste:
