Most people who have children have at some point had to try to remove crayon from paint. Here is what to do if you child draws a picture on the wall.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

2. Using a dry paper towel or wash rag, wipe at the spot you were blowing with the blow dryer.

3. If the crayon comes off easily, continue to remove it. If it smears, it’s not ready to be removed.
