How to remove crayons from the wall? Is this what you are thinking now?I had the same issue when I found it was time to clean and organize our home again.Our kid was so creative on part of the living room ,so that it is the time to get rid of these crayon marks.
Parents know when their kids get creative. It is common to have crayon drawings and writing on the walls at one stage of life of any kid. Although my kid used books, papers and whiteboard for his expressions he also expressed his thoughts in some parts of our walls. Colouring pages were his favourite way to spend time.But he loved to draw in a wall too. Luckily he didn’t mess whole area of the walls. Therefore no much work for us.
We allowed the kid to be creative and didn’t bother to repaint the walls until now. He is going to be 7 years old and now he doesn’t want to use walls for his creative ideas. Therefore I started our latest living room makeover project.
Removing these crayon marks from the walls is part of my project before I use wallpaper on the wall. After some research I found this method and it worked for us.
It is simple. What you need is toothpaste and cleaning cloths.
