What is the best way to remove crayon markings from a wall without taking off the paint?

People gave too many repeatitive answers, here is one that doesn't require Mr. Clean.


Take a hair dryer, and have some very absorband tissues or paper towels ready in hand. Blow the wall in HIGH, and the crayon should melt, as soon as it liquidfies, blot it dry with the tissue. Repeat a few times.What is the best way to remove crayon markings from a wall without taking off the paint?
There's a product out there called ';goo-gone'; It works pretty well and doesn't take the paint off the walls.What is the best way to remove crayon markings from a wall without taking off the paint?
mr clean magic eraser it works great i use them all the time for that exact purpose
take a blunt knife and scratch on it
Oh my! This is what I do with my walls every two weeks!





My kids just love to decorate the house walls using their crayons, even if I keep giving them papers and coloring books for their use. hehehe





What I do is to use sponge and powdered laundry soap and just clean the walls. The paint that I have on walls is white, fortunately, so even if I suspect that the paint is coming off because the soap suds look so white, after I dry off the wall, the paint stays the same.





I use a slightly hardened sponge (not the ordinary soft sponge because it will take a longer time to take away the crayons) and just powdered laundry soap and water.





good luck and kisses to your kids!





P.S.





I haven't used MAGIC ERASER before, so if I see one, I'd try it soon and make life easier!

My daughter is two and does plenty of drawings on the walls with crayon. I used Mr cleans magic eraser and it took the crayon right off.
MAGIC ERASER that works I GOT kids who wright on the walls and it works really really good.
Those new white sponges from Mr. Clean work really well.
MAGIC ERASER tried it and it works wonders
Believe me (WD-40) works!! It rocks, plus it has hundred other uses.....
Magic Eraser-Mr. Clean





Its terrific.. You'll find yourself scrubbing everything.





Just add water.. No soaps or sprays needed
If you have a flat paint on your wall you should paint over it, because it will look funny in the spot were the crayon markings were after you try to clean the spots( trust me i know). but if your paint job is much better than flat paint then try Murphy oil soap and warm water. This is a old soap that has been around forever and works on just about anything.
Bulldoze the whole house. This will keep the paint on the wall yet...ha ha!





You should try Purell or a similar hand sanitizer. Those often remove many marks immediately--including Sharpie marks. I've not had experience with removing crayons with Purell, but it's worth a try.





If not, use a lot of Palmolive. It's a good tough soap. Best of luck!
Remove the wall.
Here is a site, that is probably a necessity for you

Take a few peices of moulding and frame the art work that the child has left for you!


Now your child will have a place to add art work without you having to worry about the rest of the walls.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Costs a couple bucks, but it's money well spent. Lasts quite a bit and can be used on multiple surfaces. Removes bath, sink and tile grunge, and soap scum as well.
Baby oil. For some reason it lifts the wax and removes it really well. If that doesn't work, try peanut butter, yes peanut butter.
HAVE YOU TRIED THAT MAGIC ERASER, PEOPLE SAY IT WORKS.
the ERASER by Mr Clean. Sold at Walmart
You can use toothpaste :)
Try dipping a wet sponge or rag in baking soda and scouring gently.
