Comments on How to Remove Crayon Stains From Walls

Thanks guys, my 2 yr old daughter got a hold of a maroon crayon and constructed a huge Picasso picture stringing all down our white painted hall way. I tried the Orange Glo, it worked great on my washer

The only thing suggested here that I had on hand was silver polish- it worked really well!

Silver polish works amazingly!! Then just wipe it off with a little cleanser and VOILA!!

I tried a baby wipe and that didn't work, and all the articles I was reading seemed to have one thing in common, some sort of oil, so I had some Ecover Floor Cleaner with Linseed Oil in, I put a tiny amount on a textured side of my cloth and it worked with very little effort then I just rinsed the cloth out and wiped again and dried with a paper towel, now you wouldn't of even known it was there - phew before my husband got home! thank you for all your articles they all helped in some way in me finding a solution.

Lighter fluid really works, after I used the marks with the fluid, I took some warm water with just a dab of soap, because it is flammable and wiped again. Then, I cleaned it with a little soap scum by Tilex, works real well and leaves a nice clean scent.

I came to this place in a panic before I went to the store because my 2 yr old colored on the walls. I got bounce, goo gone pen, and the magic eraser. They were out of WD-40. Bounce did NOT work. Maybe because the walls had ridges but it seemed to spread the color. I used the magic eraser 2 pack and it worked great. My only problem is that I needed more than two. I used the two I had to the scraps.

WD-40 is like MAGIC! Spray some on a sturdy paper towel and it will dissolve the crayon with very little pressure, preserving the paint. Then just take a damp (water) paper towel to wipe away whatever is left.

For removing stubborn crayon stains from washable clothing use WD-40. I just found this out because it was the correct answer on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. See..you CAN learn thns from TV!

Removing crayons from a painted wall: I tried the baking soda mix and it did not work. I tried the hand lotion thing and it did not work either. What really worked was heating the surface with the blow dryer for 30 seconds and then wiping the crayon stain off with a scrub damped in soapy water. I had to wipe it off again with a cloth damped in water to remove the soap from the wall. It worked so perfectly!

How ato remove crayon stains from walls - I use Orange Glow. It has the same oil consistancy of WD-40 but with a much better smell. Afterwards I rewiped the walls with my favorite cleaner to get the excess oil off. This tool me all of 5 minutes for a 17 x 13 room.

I have tried just about everything... hair dryer, magic eraser(worked but i ran out), toothpaste, napisan, nail polish remover body lotion, toothpaste, spray & wipe, carpet cleaner and just about all of them worked by not only taking the crayon off but the paint aswell... What worked but left the paint behind??? Good old Coles brand baby wipes with a bit of elbow grease... I will have to repaint anyway coz now my wall is spotty from all the other chemicals i tried!!!
