My son for the first time at 22 months decided to color on the wall with crayon. I tried soap and water and that was not working so I looked online and found this page. I tried the WD-40 and that just started to take the paint off the walls. So I started trying the toothpaste and it looks like its working. It does take ALOT of scrubing but it sure looks like it is working. I am taking a break now and letting my son clean some of it so he learns not to do it anymore. I really like the toothpast method cause I can let him clean it up and show him it is NOT fun to have to sit there and scrub.

Just had to scrub crayon off the wall this morning and I tried the toothpaste. My regular crest toothpaste didn’t work so I mixed the Rembrandt with water and used a toothbrush to scrub it off. Your arm will be tired but it worked!

Use a dry paper towel. I have removed crayon from cabinets and walls with no problem. Just rub the paper towel over the creative murals your kids have made, and it comes off with no problem. Heavier areas may take a little more elbow grease.

THanks for the crayon tip (using toothpaste). I just tried it on several walls and it worked wonderfully. Now if only I had a tip for cleaning the REST of the walls!

Recently at a hotel during a stay at a hotel we had to come up with a crayon remover on textured wallpaper walls.
Shampoo. with a little bit of water on it and some elbow grease, it came right off.

My budding artist are constantly on the move with various writing and coloring gadgets…. I had basically went through the intire list of recent post recommendations… when I was at my wits end and exhausted from scrubbing walls, anong with some paint being removed from the walls with some applications. I sprayed the walls with Mosquito repellant, permant marker, carayons and ink pin marks all wiped off easily.

Peanut butter works like a charm for crayon on walls. Then wash off the residue. Not for use if someone in house is allergic to peanuts.
