How can I get pen marks off the wall?

Mostly felt tips and biro. I have an autistic 7 year-old who keeps drawing on the wall and I can't get it off. I've tried cleaning wipes, magic eraser, cucumber which didn't make any difference. I can't remember the brand but the mould remover spray that comes in a black bottle made it fade a little bit but didn't get it all off. Please help, my walls look awful.

I would just repaint the walls with washable paint if you can afford it. (Dulux is the brand I’d recommend & B&Q have a sale). The replace all the biros and felt tips with washable ones.

Have you tried toothpaste? Took biro off my wooden furniture

Baby wipes. Worked when my Dd drew all over the wall in the villa we were staying g in. 🙈

You need washable paint and crayola washable pens in future.

I would have said magic sponge but see you've already tried that? Make sure you wet it first

If you're going to repaint you'll need to put stain block on the marks first or they will bleed through.
