help - black rollerball pen on cream walls

[potteringon]

Aargh! My toddler has just scribbled with black rollerball pen all over our newly painted cream walls. We're trying to sell the house at the moment and it's sooo not a good look. Any way to get rid of it?

Paint over it?

You'll need to get as much of the ink off as possible before you paint over it as it may otherwise bleed through the fresh paint. Try babywipes - it's amazing what they can shift.

My sil said milk works on pen on wall. I have not tried this personally.

If you try it, just to a tiny edge of it as a trial.
