Wd40 or hairsparay??

Also, sugar soap and another coat of paint??

The JML "magic sponge" is quite good at getting marker pen off - I speak from experience!

Thanks for these suggestions!

I have a Flash magic sponge thing but it's taken some of the paint off the wall with it. How do you use the hairspray? Spray it on and wipe off?

I wish I had had these ideas 3 years ago! House on market, people coming to view in one hour, and I find 3 yr old ds has drawn all around the bathroom with blue marker pen. Cue almighty panic Grin

Managed to get it off with frantic scrubbing, but he'd drawn on the gloss painted door. When I scrubbed that, it roughed up the gloss, but luckily when people go into that bathroom, the back of the door is hidden once opened, if you're just looking in.

Viewing went off alright, and I painted the door afterwards, so it was okay for the next viewing. In fact these people bought the house, and never knew about the marker pen.
