i know how you get biro off a leather sofa - use hairspray! dunno if it works for fridges tho!

belgo · 17/04/2007 17:30

I don't have any hairspray - I am currently using kitchen cleaner and elbow grease but it's not working!

The fridge was a present from dh's parents and I don't really want to be responsible for letting the kids wreck it

You could try wd 40 that gets crayon off walls?

wd40 gets crayon off walls? Now that's useful to know!

furniture polish?

Frascati · 17/04/2007 17:32

baby wipes could help as well

belgo · 17/04/2007 17:33

no dettox spray or wipes. Will try the washing up liquid!

Or find a fridge magnet and stick it on over the pen.

belgo · 17/04/2007 17:40

oh not sure about trying the nail varnish remover on the smeg fridge!

I have tried: furniture polish, wet wipes, washing up liquid, kitchen cleaner, and something must be working because it has significantly faded, and hopefully dh won't notice (phew!) DD1 is currently cleaning it with a cloth. Don't know if she was the culprit or her sister - but that sort of damage is done in a second, which is why I usually keep the biros locked away.

Thanks everyone!

Ah, does wd40 get marker of the walls? [hopeful emoticon], otherwise I will have to repaint the playroom.
