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!

    CHUX Magic Eraser is ideal for cleaning most hard surfaces including keyboards, telephones, remote controls, kids toys, tea cups, coffee mugs, skirting boards, door handles, wall, switch plates, white goods and appliances, bench tops, bathtubs and shower screens. Also use it to remove sticky residue from labels.

    Chemical and detergent free
    Super fine fibres lift and trap dirt
    Rubs out most marks including ink, crayon and grime
