Any Tips?


Any tips for getting this very orange crayon off my very blue wall? As you probably can guess Paisley did this drawing. She actually did 2. One on each side of the television. We tried to scrub it with hot water and that didn't work. I don't want to repaint our basement, so anybody have any other ideas? I'm pretty sure Rebecca has experience with this.

Ok, back in the day (when my kids were little) I used toothpaste. No joke, it worked like a charm. Nowadays, I have heard from other moms that the following work with their various issues:

1) mr clean magic eraser (no notes on this one)

2) wd-40 after using you have to use dawn or something to take the greasy residue off the wall

3) baking soda this sometimes removes some of the paint or the gloss of the paint. don't rub hard.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Tracy! I bought a magic eraser today and we'll see if it works, after that I'm off for the toothpaste! Thanks!

If it is blue paint, then dont use the spunge it takes off the paint big time. and/or you can try to use an eraser(if it is colored pencils...).

This picture reminds me of a similar one Rebecca mailed a few years ago showing Mialee cleaning the wall after one of her art projects.
