It usually happens with little kids, and we did it at least once when we were young, that is writing, or drawing ont the wall with crayons. Here's a way to wash off the color to get your white wall back.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • dish sponge with one side for scrubbing
  • water
  • bleach
  • dry paper towel
  • rubber gloves
  1. Step 1

    First is to put on rubber gloves, so you won't have the smell of bleach on your hands, and have a damp dish sponge with one side meant for scrubbing.

  2. Step 2

    On the spongy side of the sponge put in bleach, and start wiping over the crayon parts of the wall so the crayon would absorb the bleach.

  3. Step 3

    After covering the crayon writing with bleach, use the scrubbing side of the sponge to easily wash out the crayon off the wall.

  4. Step 4

    To remove some slight color left by the crayon, damp the sponge with some water, and clean the wall with the sponge again.

  5. Step 5

    After when finished cleaning the wall, take a dry paper towel and dry off the wall. Now you have a brightly clean wall with no crayon marks.

Tips & Warnings
  • Of course this was on a white wall, I can't say what it will do on a different color painted wall.
