If the little artists at home have left signs of their creativity all over the place, then mind these easy solutions to give walls their initial look. Here is how to remove crayon from the walls by turning to some tricks accessible to anyone. The ideas come via Reader’s Digest.<\/p>\n

For a start, grab a damp rag, dip it in some baking soda, and lightly scrub the marks. They should come off with a minimal amount of effort.<\/p>\n

Equally simple is to try \u201cerasing\u201d the crayon marks to get the wall back to a clean slate.<\/p>\n

Did the kids use your wall as if it was a big coloring book? Spray some WD-40 onto the marks and wipe with a clean rag. WD-40 will not damage the paint or most wallpaper (test fabric or other fancy wall coverings first). It will also remove marker and crayon marks from furniture and appliances.<\/p>\n

Roll up your sleeves and grab a tube of non-gel toothpaste and a rag or\u2014better yet\u2014a scrub brush. Squirt the toothpaste on the wall and start scrubbing. The fine abrasive in the toothpaste will rub away the crayon every time. Rinse the wall with water.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a simple way to remove crayon from a painted wall that requires hardly any elbow grease: Simply rub some mayonnaise on the crayon marks and let it soak in for several minutes. Then wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth.<\/p>\n

Your toddler just created a work of crayon art on paper. Unfortunately, it\u2019s on your wallpaper. Use a bit of steel wool soap pad to just skim the surface, making strokes in one direction instead of scrubbing in a circle, and your wall will be a fresh \u201ccanvas\u201d in no time.<\/p>\n

Kids often manage to get crayon marks on their clothing as well as the walls. You can easily get these stains off by rubbing them with a recycled toothbrush soaked in undiluted vinegar before washing them.<\/p>\n

Take a hair dryer to the markings and allow it to heat the wax. Wipe wax off with a hot, soapy cloth. You could try a clothes iron as well (no steam), just make sure it\u2019s on a low heat setting so it won\u2019t scorch the paint. Place a few paper towels between the surface and the iron.
