I bought crayons for my toddler and SOMEHOW managed not to get the "washable" kind. Now i have orange scribbles ALL over the wall and I can't get it off with water and soap and cleaning spray.
What should I do? What works?
I can't believe I was this out of it when I bought the crayons!
Thanks so much everyone in advance!

If you haven't already tried Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser, you might want to start with that.
Good luck.

Alcohol or acetone usually do the trick for me.

Another vote for the Magic Eraser.
Do a test, though, as it can change the "finish" of some kinds of paint.

I would try a little tea tree oil, neat, on a rag.

If you use the Magic Eraser be sure to keep it away from the kids as it can cause a nasty burn-type rash on sensitive skin. I know that it will get crayon off most walls.

I like goo-gone.. it doesn't take the paint off like a magic eraser does.

We use baking soda and water paste for crayon (and incidently also for sharpie) on the wall. ;) Oh, and usually the offender is the cleaner LOL

that works especially well on pencil marks, Angi.. those have to have some sort of abrasive to get off.

Goo-gone is one of my favorite things. That should work to get the crayon off. The Magic Eraser tends to be scratchy.

THANK YOU everyone. I used Goo-Gone and it mostly got it all off. I really appreciate your help!
