How to Remove Crayon Off Walls

Anyone with children or grandchildren have probably, at one time or another, found crayon or colored pencil scribbles or figures on walls, door, or floors. There is an easy way to remove the crayon without having to use household cleaners that could potentially remove the paint off of the walls or doors, or that may not work at all.

Things You'll Need

• Can of hairspray
• Damp rag

Instructions

1. Take a can of hairspray and spray until you have covered all of the area that has been colored.

2. Once you have the covered the area, let the hairspray sit for approximately ten to fifteen minutes.

3. Take a rag, get it wet, and wring as much of the water from the cloth as you can.

4. Wipe the hairspray off of the surface you sprayed it on. The crayon and colored pencil should come off, also.

5. If there is still some crayon remaining, repeat the process.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not use hairspray on wallpaper.
