Help!! Crayon Mural on wall!! How do I get it off?!?!

OK...today DS and his cousin were playing very nicely in his bedroom today....so we thought. I walked into his room and found...to my horror....a beautiful crayon mural scrawled across his wall. When I say mural, I mean it stretches at least 5 ft long by 3 ft high. Oh, very pretty pics of flowers and letters and a television set with the letters FSOT spelled out....lol. DS cousin is a 5yr old DD of another Amity mama. Wonder where she got FSOT from, huh? LOL. i just need advice on how to get it off. PLEASE!!!!!!

goo-gone or murphy's oil soap and a kitchen scrubby combined with lots of elbow grease will get it off. Maybe a final wash with something a little abrasive like baking soda to get the residue off.


If it's beeswax crayon it will come off but you don't need goo-gone...just soame soap, baking soda, and even more elbow grease. BTDT!

You might try goof-off (the one safe for painted walls) or Formula 409(has worked for me). Good luck mama!

Try Citra-Solve. I've never seen it not work on anything oily or waxy.

Hands down the best!
Hardly need any elbow grease and it smells nice as well.
