As per title - my 2 year old has gone to town on the walls with a biro and I can’t get it off! Any tips (apart from keeping pens somewhere he can’t reach!) ???

TIA

Have you tried wet wipes? Maybe the Johnson's ones.

Yes tried those and it didn’t make any difference. I’ve tried hot water as some cleaning solution too but that didn’t work either!

Toothpaste works apparently ...

Magic erasers?

Same colour paint? Grin

Spray hairspray on a cloth until it's wet, then rub the walls with it. Then soap and water to get the hairspray off the walls!

Neat washing up liquid
Or a baby wipe
Or wd40

Big wipes (Heavy duty) from B&Q in a bright yellow plastic bottle/tub thing...removes anything!! There are a godsend...all my friends use them too since we used them on my friends loo seat that her son drew on in various colours using a felt tip pen!
