I’ve been trying to clean the walls from all the marks my little cherub has made during her artistic period.
I found on the web that Eucalyptus oil can get rid of Crayon and it’s done a great job. It also took off the mascara. But what to use for pen? The oil wouldn’t do a damn thing.
Of course turps will, but that also takes off the paint
I read that WD40 is good for pen, but hasn’t done a damn thing so I now have a big can of that.

Thanks Lisa.
I will try the hairspray.
I haven’t found anywhere that stocks anything like “Mr.Clean MagicEraser”. I’ve looked in a few shops.

Finally found Chux Magic Eraser sponges:
Chux Magic Eraser.
I went to the local Woolworths, where I’ve not been in quite a while. I was going to buy the hairspray and some Aerogard (which I heard can get rid of pen marks from clothes if sprayed on before washing).
Well, I first thought to look in the Cleaning aisle just in case. Lo and behold! There it was! I bought three packets (Nearly $5 each) and it takes most pen off the wall.. magically!
