Biro on wallpaper-is there any hope of removal?

[Molehillmountain]

Just that really. It's not vinyl wallpaper

Possibly try rubbing with white bread-use the bread like a pencil rubber.
Small piece and rub gently over area
Didn't take it out completely but really faded biro when my DS scribbled on wallpaper many years ago.

I got pen off the wall with normal soap - mildly damp cloth and lots of soap (so the wallpaper wasn't "wet").

meths will wash biro ink off hard surfaces, but on wallpaper I suspect it would just spread out and soak in (it goes purple)

I suppose you could try a tiny spot with a Q-tip.

Magic sponge eraser things, they sell them in poundland and lots of other places.

They really are magic, just dampen slightly and rub, I haven't tried them on wallpaper, we've got painted walls, but definately worth a go.

yep, these magic sponge thingies are good. they work on paint anyway so should be fine on wall paper.

I'd get a sample of wallpaper and experiment first but WD40 is my answer to most things!

My DS when only 18mths old decorated my mother's lovely new wallpaper and she used hairspray to remove it! Can't imagine where she got that tip from other than she used to be a hairdresser!
