10 Tips to Remove Crayon Marks from Walls
- Toothpaste (regular paste–not gel). This one’s my first pick always (good old regular Crest), it also helps clean up permanent marker stains pretty easily.
- Artgum Eraser – gently rub on marks in a circular motion, can also try a regular pencil eraser. Done carefully, this might be an option for wallpaper stains.
- Baking Soda – make a paste with water and use it to gently scrub the mark. You could also just sprinkle baking soda on a damp sponge and rub.
- Baby Oil – apply directly to crayon stains then rub off.
- Mayonnaise – Glob some on the stain and scrub a bit in a circular motion, then wipe off.
- Shaving Cream – apply to markings, rub in, then wipe off.
- WD-40 – spray some on the marks and rub off. Wash walls with hot soapy water once the crayon has been removed.
- Turpentine – dab some on a damp cloth and scrub into stain to remove crayon.
- Lighter Fluid – apply as you would turpentine
- Goo Gone – Same directions as for turpentine
