Ways to Remove Crayola Products from Surfaces


Many years ago, I was babysitting for a family. The family I was babysitting for had 7 and 3-year-old children who really enjoyed doing arts and crafts while I was at their house watching them. Their favorite Crayola items they loved using were markers, colored pencils and regular and erasable crayons. Let me tell you when these children got their Crayola products out, I knew what time it was: time to get ready to clean up a big mess afterwards.

One day while I was over babysitting the children and doing arts and crafts with them, the 3- year old decide he was going to color the walls with crayons while I was cooking dinner. Now, I know your probably all thinking I should have been watching him more carefully, but the truth in the matter was I actually turned around for a second to drain the pasta from the pan and turned back around again and saw the wall. Let me tell you, I was very upset that he decided to give the wall a new design, but couldn't be mad at him because he keep saying it was pretty, which led to me just smiling.

After he had colored on the wall, I jumped onto the computer right away that they had at their house and began researching products that remove crayon from the walls. I found one product that really worked well and it was the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, and let me just say I put the children in the car and went straight out to buy one.

As soon as I got back to the house I began erasing the crayon of the wall with the Mr. Clean Eraser and it worked wonders to my surprise. It actually removed the entire crayon mess from the wall and the wall was back to normal. 

So, for anyone trying to remove crayon from the wall try using the Mr. Clean Eraser. If you don't know how to use a Mr. Clean Eraser its very simple. All you have to do is take the eraser and press it up against the mess and rub hard like you would if you were trying to erase something off a magic marker board, and you keep rubbing with the Mr. clean eraser until the mess is gone. That's all there is too it. It's really simple and the easiest and fastest way to get rid of crayon from drywall.
