Help. DS wrote on walls with markers

[Jasminesmommy]

I tried usisng the Mr. Clean magic Eraser and its not working even a little bit. I believe its the Crayola markers not washable

Have you tried Crayola's website? I think they have an area for problems like this!

If someone uses a non-washable marker on a whiteboard, it can be removed by tracing over it with a washable marker. The solvents from the washable marker break down the none washable marker so that both can be erased. This might work on your wall as well.

I don't have any cleaning suggestions but I do feel your pain. My son recently scribbled in ink on my white, marble coffee table. It was a wedding present from my inlaws. When the light hits it just right I can still see the mark. Ah well most days I wouldn't trade him!

Did you try hair spray or nail polish remover? That is what took permanent marker off my walls.

Someday you will see humor in this, I hope. Or have something to embarass him with when he is a teen. Speaking as a Mom that they all grew up on and left,now I have grandkids. Yea!!!

Baby wipes took the marker off of our wallpaper. Good luck.

We used a magic eraser when DS3 wrote on our walls. It worked great.

My son's Godmother left black jelly bean handprints on my Mom's wallpaper when she was 3 years old. When my parents remodeled 25 years later -- they had it cut out and framed for her. My Mom said it was payback when her Mom was watching me and I crayoled all over their wall.

Try rubbing alcohol. Even permanent markers usually come off with alcohol.

well at least he didn't engrave his initials in your car as my daughter did, they were about 10 inches high too.

Sorry for your pain, I feel it still to this day..

It wouldn't bother me so much if this were my house but I am renting. Rubbing alcohol didn't work nor the Magic Eraser. going to try other stuff.

 

[cre8fmom]

try goo-gone. good luck!

If your walls are white, try using a little Comet or Ajax powder containing bleach. This always worked for us whether it was to remove magic marker, Sharpee black ink or red lipstick.

Good luck!

If the other things don't work. Try Oxyclean

If all else falls, try matching the color and repaint that wall.

What about hairspray? It works on ink. You have to dry off any water or other solvents before you spray/pour it on.
