A damp cloth with baking soda will take crayon off your walls. Don't rub hard! Just rub gently and firmly until the stain comes off.

Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort!

Use Zippo lighter fluid or any lighter fluid that is on sale.
Put a little lighter fluid on a paper napkin and wipe off the crayon mark.
It takes crayon marks off blackboards, walls (painted as well as wallpapered), computers, wood floors, and toys.
I have found baking soda can scratch surfaces and takes paint off the wall.

Baking soda and water kind of worked to remove the crayon marks. But it also took off some of the paint (flat paint). Try toothpaste on a toothbrush-awesome! (01/05/2006)

Toothpaste and toothbrush work liked magic. Took everything off without damage to my walls. I tried the baking soda with a damp cloth and it didn't work half as well or as fast as the toothpaste did. It also took some paint off my walls when I used the baking soda method. I know what to use next time. (01/15/2006)

If you catch your child in the act.. you can use a regular SOS pad and water. The toothpaste and the baking soda didn't seem to work. (01/15/2006)

WOW toothpaste and a toothbrush really does work I was very shocked. I thought i would never get it off without having to repaint. Thanks! (02/03/2006)

Toothpaste did the trick. It worked great. Baking soda didn't work for me. It took off the paint and still didn't remove the crayon. Now I will always use toothpaste when my little one decides she wants to use my walls as paper with her crayons. (03/01/2006)

I used the lighter fluid, as previously suggested, it worked, but I ran out. So I thought about using some oil lamp fluid, and it worked just as well. Our wall paint is somewhat glossy, this may not work well on no-gloss/flat paint which be too porous, (08/15/2006)

To make the toothpaste method work, just put it on with your fingers and rub it it in a little, not all the way though! After that just leave it on for about 5-10 minutes. Last, just use the toothbrush in circular motions and wipe it off. (08/17/2006)

"Magic Eraser" My new favorite product - works great on things I never thought I could get clean. Don't rub too hard. (08/17/2006)

I used the toothpaste and tooth brush on low gloss paint and it worked wonderfully. (11/20/2006)

I just tried the magic eraser pad, the new white ones. Wow, worked like a charm with no elbow grease. i hadn't really figured out what those things could be used for since they're rather fragile, but for crayon marks, Wow! (11/20/2006)
