Help with pen on the wall?

Question

I had my niece at the weekend(only 2),and she got all my daughters felt pens and biro pens and drew every where in my daughters bedroom i cant seem to get the biro and a bit of the felt pen off short of painting over it all,any suggestions?

Answer 1

rubbing alcohol or hairspray, let it work for a moment then rub off with a damp cloth.

Answer 2

Try wetwipes -- not kidding: they seem to shift an amazing amount (off carpets, clothes, walls as well as sticky children). I know I've taken biro off paint and wallpaper using them: not sure about the felt pen because it depends so much on the individual ink formulations.

Good luck!

Duzzit sponges are brilliant for things like that! They cost about 99p,and all you do is put a little water on the sponge and wipe. I've removed pen marks of all types,stains from food and grubby little hands (I have a 7 year old!),even those brown radiator scorch marks off the wall with them!

Answer 4
