Cleaning In Color: Removing Crayon From Walls
When you have a creative little one, you know that they can be unpredictable.
You might find that your young artist likes to experiment and take things into their own hands. Suddenly, the walls and floors become their large, endless canvas.
When this happens, don’t panic! Finding artwork on your walls doesn’t have to be as scary as it seems. Especially if crayons were the medium of choice.
Removing crayon from walls is much easier than you think.
Are you wondering how to do it? Keep reading and we’ll give you tips on how to get those pesky stains off the walls.
Heat It Up
One of the easier methods of removing crayon from your walls is by using a household item, a hairdryer.
If you turn it on its lowest setting and aim it at the wall for around 30 seconds, the wax should start to melt. This will make it easier to safely clean the walls. You should be able to easily wipe them off after doing this.
A damp rag can help you with the wax crayon cleaning as it can be used to wipe the excess off.
Brush It
There are many household products that can help in the case of removing crayon from your walls. For this method, you’ll need two things, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
Grab your old toothbrush and put a little toothpaste on it. Then gently brush the wall, being careful and not applying too much pressure.
This should help remove a lot of the crayon from the wall.
Get Baking
When it comes to cleaning, baking soda is almost always your best friend. Usually, it’s used with a damp rag, which is also true in this case.
By applying some baking soda to a damp cloth, you can gently wash the walls affected by crayons. It should help to lift some of the wax while protecting the paint while cleaning.
Having Trouble Removing Crayon from Walls?
Even if you can get the crayon off of the wall, there could still be stains left behind that don’t want to come out.
