My son has drawn ball point pen on the wallpaper and I have tried nail polish remover and other cleaning products but I have to be careful not to tear the paper as he has pierced it with the pen already. Please can someone help!

Try spraying it with hairspray first, then using a damp cloth.
You could try magic erasers from mister clean. They work great on alot of different things. Nan_Pooh in Kansas
try Colgate toothpaste, (the white kind not the gel) and let it set about 10 -15 minutes then clean with a warm damp cloth.
The Mister Clean magic eraser looks like it wouldn't work, but it does. I just used it yesterday on painted walls and wallpaper. Just a couple tips: The thicker, more durable type of wallpaper is harder to get the pen out of, but eventually it seems to come. We experienced a VERY slight discoloration of the wallpaper though. Perhaps the wallpaper was dirty in the first place though :) With thinner, more "papery" types of wallpaper, you have to be careful because you can actually start to wear through the wallpaper if you scrub too long in one place.
Try going over the permanent pen with a white board pen this has worked for me before
Could someone advise me on how to remove pen marks out of WALL PAPER... In have tried all sorts and nothing works. Its not painted wall - which would make life easier, it happens to be wall paper which proves a little difficult.

Hair spray, not that fancy stuff they sell now-a-day. but the cheap kind like Aqua Net,works great on anything that has ink marks
Oh my gosh, this actually saved my life, hairspray 100% works!!
I have successfully remove pen from my painted anyglpta wallaper with hairspray. Thanks
=O Milk, hairspray, lemon juice, nail polish remover.. they dont work!!
I need to remove pen marks, from kids writing on painted walls. I don't care so much about the paint, just want the pen marks gone. Don't have hairspray. What next?
I just tried Hairspray and Mr CLean Eraser. They both didn't work!!!
Any other suggestions???
Colgate tooth paste does not work.
Nor does hairspray
Editor's Note: Because there are so many different types of pens, look under the type: Ball point pen, sharpie, gel pen.
I have a 3yr and 2yr that go crazy on my walls. Please HELP I have tried everything and nothing works.
Tried the nail varnish technique on my wallpaper to remove pen and now have a lovely white patch and my wall paper was ment to be yellow. Too scared to now try the hairspray so think my daughter's art will be there to stay till we redecorate.
Dampen a smal piece of paper towel with isoproponal,not too wet,lay on ink and weight down check often and renew process til ink is gone. Remember not too wet or ink will run.
Be very careful. When my girls were little, wrote with pens, crayons on painted doors and wallpaper. I used lighter fluid to get it off with a cloth of the same color as paper. Suggest trying someplace a little hidden, or can hang a pic over it.
I've tried everything nothing has worked at all and the wallpaper is a Paris theme which makes it worse because there's a patch or yellow and ink covering part of it
Hi all the best thing to use is wd40 as it quickly removes any type of ink from wallpaper or painted walls just spray on and leave for few seconds then gently dab of with sponge or cotton wool balls hope this helps x
