You\u2019ll achieve the best results if you handle the crayon marks while they are still fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spray onto the marks and wipe with a clean rag. It should be able to come right off. It will also remove marker and crayon marks from furniture and appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is good for small spots, but doing a larger area will most likely make a bigger mess. The spray will leave residue and will smudge the crayon. As for older stains, cleaning them with penetrating oil spray won\u2019t work. <strong>Papered walls will be an issue because they will absorb the oil.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eraser sponges for cleaning crayon off walls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great way is to use eraser sponges. Lots of people like this method and there is a reason for that. Use warm water, scrub it over the marked surface a few times and watch it vanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is appropriate for smaller areas, but it can get pretty expensive if you\u2019re dealing with big areas. You will definitely wear the sponge down so you may need a number of them to do the job. As well as that, if you\u2019re not careful enough you may take off some of the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different tactics on how to clean marks off walls, depending on their type and the wall\u2019s type. However, if your wall has a shiny or glossy finish or if it is wallpapered we don\u2019t recommend this method for cleaning crayon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Art eraser for cleaning crayon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This method works well, but it\u2019s appropriate for<strong> small areas only<\/strong>. It works very well on wallpapered walls. Before you look for more drastic measures try this first, as it won\u2019t damage the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by using small circular motions. If you start off by rubbing too hard, you will smear the colour. It\u2019s a good idea to use this technique prior to some of the other ways, for example, the one with the toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eraser will absorb and lift the crayon but there may be remaining marks. The following method will help you to get rid of them completely. It will be easier to clean the leftover crayon marks, once you\u2019ve removed the bulk of the colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning crayon with toothpaste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another method, which is often used because it\u2019s one of the best ways to clean walls from crayon marks. There are two options &#8211; either you apply the toothpaste directly on the wall or on a towel first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first method isn&#8217;t the safest. You\u2019ll have to use a brush to scrub the crayon marks off the wall and you may damage it. The second method is the one we prefer. You apply the toothpaste on a towel and use gentle circular motions to remove the crayon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing you must keep in mind is that not all kinds of toothpaste give the same results. You must use paste, not gel. Other than that, this is one of the safest methods and works for almost any type of wall. It is very effective for <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-your-shoes\/\">cleaning shoes<\/a>, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using a blow dryer to clean crayon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one extremely effective technique. As the crayon is mostly made of wax you can heat it up in order to make it easier to wipe away. Use the blow dryer cautiously because too much heat on the same spot can damage the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a cleaning cloth or a paper towel with a small quantity of liquid dish soap and gently wipe away the crayon marks. After that thoroughly clean the soap off the walls once finished. <strong>This method is safe to use on most wall surfaces<\/strong>, but test first on a hidden spot to be sure. You may have to apply some elbow grease to remove crayon from heavily textured walls, but just keep at it and it will all disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Learn too:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-wallpaper\/\">How to Clean Wallpaper the Safe Way<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"The_best_solution_to_clean_crayon_from_walls\">The best solution to clean crayon from walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Remember the blow dryer?<\/em> Well, from our experience this is an extremely good method, as crayons are made of wax and heating the marks first works very well. However, we think that this is hardly enough. After you apply some heat, but not too much cause you may damage the wall, use the following mixture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baking soda + dish soap + warm water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The mixture must be in the form of a paste. You want it to be very thick and heavy. Therefore, you will need a lot of baking soda, a few drops of dish soap and just enough water to make it into a paste. Dip a clean towel in hot water, after that dip it into the mixture and start applying the paste on the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve cleaned your wall with this paste, the baking soda is definitely going to leave a residue. All you need to do is take a damp cloth and just go over it. Warm water will clean the residue perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parents alert:<\/strong> If you\u2019re dealing with more than just crayons &#8211; think stickers, food splatters, or other stubborn bedtime creations, check out our dedicated guide covers <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/end-of-lease-cleaning-for-parents-removing-stubborn-stains\/\">how to remove those kid-made stubborn stains before moving out<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have the answer to the question of how to get crayon off the walls, go and use it. But before that, our advice is to take a picture of your kids\u2019 artwork. Even though at the moment the situation may seem terrible, this will be a great memory. And the picture will be a great addition to your photo albums. After that take a picture of your kid while he is scrubbing the wall in order to remove his scribbles from it. This will be an even better memory. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#001265;border-radius:6px;max-width:none\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#1c4598;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:4px;border-top-right-radius:4px\">Bonus tips<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:4px;border-bottom-right-radius:4px\">\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Buy washable crayons<\/strong>. Sometimes no matter what you do your kids can\u2019t keep their creativity off the walls. This is pretty normal and although it\u2019s bad news for your wallpaper, it\u2019s good news for your child\u2019s development. It strengthens cognitive and motor abilities and provides an emotional release. However, you\u2019ll definitely want to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/melbourne\/one-off-cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a big clean up<\/a>. So, instead of wondering how to get crayon off the walls, you can just buy your kids washable crayons.

No, we are not joking. Although the method we recommend is almost absolutely sure to do the job, some problems may occur. Depending on the type of paint you\u2019ve used it might fade a little bit.
