Real Estate Ramblings in New Hampshire & Maine

KIDS ~ CRAYONS ~ WALLS ~ Do they go together???
Removing crayon marks from walls is trickier than it may first seem. Unless your wall artist has used the new washable crayons which come off with just plain old soap and water, more drastic measures seem to be the only ones that work. Don't use abrasive cleaners! They usually damage the paint's finish, and will leave a dull spot where the coloring marks had been. The only thing you can do if you've used an abrasive cleaner or scrubber is to repaint. Another point - don't paint over the crayon marks. The color from the crayon marks will bleed right through the paint. The good old pencil eraser comes to the rescue!! Most of the crayon will come right off. You might need to use a toothpick or something similar to get the tiny remnants out of the textured spaces in the paint. Then all you have to do is clean up the shreds of the eraser when you're done!!
