Quick! Can anyone tell me how to remove coloured pencil from the living room wall - preferably before DH gets home!

DS1 has just scribbled all over the wall - he blamed it on DS2 but I'm not convinced

So how do I get it off? The wall covering is painted lining paper.

TIA

I'll give it a go - thanks

You probably don't have time to rush out and get one now, but I've had some success with Magic Erasers here on Amazon in similar situations before... They sell them in some supermarkets and I've also found them in pound shops before now.

Or hairspray works to - spray it on then wipe off with kitchen towel.

Baby wipes did the trick! Aren't they a wonderful invention

Thanks so much Habbibu - Dh need never know!

I may pick up some of those magic erasers just in case though - they sound like they may be useful things to have!

Magic erasers are brilliant - but use them gently. Mine once brought the paint off too - not the look I was after!
