Crayon nightmare - please help....

[JayTree]

My dd has just got vivid pink crayon all over the walls in my sitting room - they are a pale cream with waterbased matt paint and I can?t remember exact colour (no left over paint tins to be found).
It is in a really obvious place, too low to hang a picture over it etc. and looks terrible (clashes with my colour scheme for a start!!)
If anyone has any clever ideas to get rid of this mess I would really appreciate it!

Try tipking.com useful tips on stain removal. I have had the same problem in the past and used baby wipes, managed to remove ds wonderful artwork. Good luck.

My ds did this too - I didn't have the heart to remove it, but luckily the lovely big smiley face he drew can be concealed by the door

Sorry, that wasn't very helpful was it....

Thanks for the tips glitterbabe - I tried the baby wipe trick but sorory to say that it hasn?t worked for the crayon this time, I am going to check out that site in a mo and hopefully that will sort me out. I hadn?t heard of it before and it sounds like a parent?s lifeline! I will remember the baby wipe trick for the future though as it really worked on the marmite handprints in the kitchen (lunchtime fun...)
Jenny2998 - thanks for your thoughts - pity it is right in the centre of the wall or I may have been able to use your door trick
LOL

Jaytree, ds often gets hold of a crayon that's been dropped on the floor that I failed to notice when clearing up, and scribbled on the wallpaper. We just used a wet sponge with a dab of washing up liquid. If it gets it off wallpaper OK, shouldn't be a problem on painted walls.
