 Topic: URGENT - HELP! Crayons on Wallpaper
Posted: 06 May 2009 at 9:27am |
Lucas has taken to our wallpaper with red (Crayola) Crayon ...its vinyl wallpaper that isn't flat surface (engrained/patterned).
I have no idea how to get it off, I'm currently sh*tting myself because my parents will NOT be happy! OMG they're going to kill me if they see it on the nice new wallpaper *hyperventilates*
Please please please tell me that someone here knows of some miracle remedy to get it off?

try this site. For some reason I thought of iron and paperbag, would have rung my Mum but she's at work, so had a quick look online. Hopefully it will work for you

Aren't Crayolas washable? Maybe just dab lightly at it with a baby wipe.
Hope you manage to clean it. x

Stop stressing - the answer is.....
Scotch Brite Magic Erasers.
THEY ROCK! You get them in the cleaning aisle at the supermarket. I had blue crayon all over our wall and it came off like absolute magic.

Toothpaste (plain white paste), white vinegar applied with old soft toothbrush, baking soda mixed into a paste, shaving cream or hand lotion.... I've tried all of these at ome point or another and was happy with results.
Good luck

Those magic sponges/erasers are FANTASTIC!!! I love them! Dont know what I would do without them! I have a 9 year old DSS and i have used the sponges to remove felt tip pen from microfibre couches, felt & ball point pen off the walls, paint off the curtains etc etc

YES!! These are BRILLIANT!
My boy got hold of a black vivid pen (thanks daddy for leaving this in such a convenient and handy spot) and took to our walls once. Those sponge things got it all off no problems.

just watch using those sponges on painted surfaces some of the paint will come off. i know this because i've had it happened when i was taking marks off. Another suggestion is if you have some try Jif or chemico

We got othose erase sponges and its taken off about 80% off it, the remainder isn't as obvious because its really low and when you're standing up the grain of the wallpaper distracts the eye too much 
Thanks for all your advice ladies ...now I can *breath* and relax!

I would have thought it would just wipe off. We use the washable crayola ones and I tested first and it rubbed off with a damp sponge.

I was hoping since it was crayola it would wash off straight away too Nikki but I think he scribbled rather hard and its coz the grain of the wallpaper that it didn't come off ...iykwim.

Lol the look on his face when i said 'Oi, what are you doing?' - he quickly turned back to the wall and scribbled some more (very fast might i add), threw the crayon across the room and ran off!
