crayon on walls

My DD has drawn on a couple of patches of wall with her crayons Angry anyone know how I can clean it off without having to repaint. Rented house which is an obscure shade of cream, so would have to get hold of the developer to find out the exact colour.

wd40, though sparingly as it can soak in and leave a greasmark

try little fairy on white towel and rub (not to hard). I got mine off using this.

If its paint not wall paper try hairspray then rub gently with a cloth. Works a treat!

WD40 works a treat.

So does stain slayer or desolv it spray (these work on most laundry stains so work buying some in)

The magic white sponges that you get from Lakeland removed my son's artwork very well.

Bicarb on a damp cloth works very well.

i've been lucky in the past using baby wipes

melt as much as you can off first with a hairdryer.

Toothpaste works (not the gel stuff though).

I second the suggestion of the magic white sponge - we got the JHL (?) ones off Amazon. Worked a treat. Careful not to rub too hard though or the paint comes off too!

Pampers sensitive wet wipes - Always worked on our walls before we got dd an easel!
