How to Clean Crayon Off Your Walls

There are many ideas on how to get crayon off of your walls. I looked at several different ones and didn't see the method that I choose. With my cleaning idea your wall can smell minty.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• hairdryer
• paper towels
• toothbrush
• white toothpaste
• washcloths

1. 
    

   With the hair dryer and high heat, heat up the wax of the crayon markings that are on your wall.

2. 
    

   When the wax is warm it can be wiped off with a paper towel. If all of the wax doesn't come off at first, heat the wall some more. After you wipe the wax off, you are just left with the color.

3. 
    

   To remove the color from your wall now, take your white toothpaste and put some on your cleaning toothbrush. Get the brush a little wet.

4. Now scrub the walls with the toothbrush. Have the washcloth underneath to catch any dripping water.

5. 
    

   Wipe the wall down with a clean wet washcloth and you should be good to go. Should the mess not be taken care of, repeat the process.
