My 17 month old decided to use our wall as her art board with non-washable crayons. It is painted with a matt finish so I thought it would never come out. Well I tried everything I could think of. Then I combined two tips that I saw into one.
I used baby wipes with baking soda. I couldn't believe it, but it worked. I had to use some elbow grease, but after awhile, it was all gone. I have now switched to all washable crayons for both our girls.
Thank you so much for the tip!! My two year old son decided to write with a crayon on his sister's brand new furniture. The baby wipes and baking soda worked great!! Thanks again
Every mother of a toddler should know this.......

What an excellent tip, it worked straight away. My nearly two year old son found crayons in his sisters room. i thought he was asleep but, he got up and went into her room without me knowing. I then found his pieces of art all over the walls. I happened to be on the net so I decided to look up a quick fix. I tried this tip and it worked straight away. i only wish I knew this 3 years ago when my daughter did the same thing. After many cleaning products we ended up repainting the entire wall.
Simply AMAZING!!!

Who would of thought JUST baking soda and baby wipes would do the trick. I have a special needs 5 year old that is learning about coloring in school, so he tried it on his walls at home and I almost fainted. As a single Mom with limited funds, this was a miracle to me. I didn't even have to run to the store, I already had both of the products at home. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!
Awesome

Thank you for sharing this tip. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and my entire living room has become a canvas for their work of arts. With a bit of elbo grease we were able to clean every wall. This is the best yet.

After paying big $$$ to repaint the whole downstairs and after seeing the art work my 2 1/2 year old did to our walls and doors, I ran to the internet with no faith I would find a solution for my problem, but...voila! It really works. Even my 6-year-old was able to help me out! THANK YOU!
