I used glass cleaner and it worked very well on cupboard, kids bed and was easy. Could be due to shiny surface and texture of furniture. Could be different experience if cleaning walls.

Baking Soda and Water Paste worked great on my latex paint, eggshell finish walls in my new rental apartment. So glad you tested all these methods, thank you!

Wow these methods of getting crayon off the wall are a lot of work. A regular eraser works AMAZINGLY and quick.

Mayo!! It sounds stupid I know but it works. It does work better on flat walls then 70s texture walls but then I did wd40 and it got in the nooks and crannies. I can’t stand the feeling of magic erasers so it was a good alternative!!!

We were able to get crayon off of our textured walls with white paint with Lysol wipes(lemon scented), they worked quite well.

Years ago when I lived in base housing, I frantically asked at the hardware store what to do about the crayon marks my daughter made on the wall and fridge. What I was told worked perfectly: Formula 409. It wiped right off. The other hint was to use orange extract on crayon that is melted into clothes after they’ve accidentally made it through the dryer.

This list is the ultimate for getting crayons off walls. I guess we have your daughters to thank for expanding their art work beyond the paper, lol!

I do not have a clever cleaning tip, however I do admit that I let my son color on his walls because it’s a form of artistic expression and hey he’s a kid he should be able to do things that kids do and not get in trouble, anyways I have found that chalk is extremely easy to remove from walls so I have gotten rid of all the crayons and replaced them with chalk, Cut the cleaning time down by more than half

In reply to Sarah. Oh! So glad this helped! Yeah, the smell of the Goo-Goo does get really intense! Glad you figured out what worked best for you.

Thanks for this! I have two girls who also used the ugly black and brown crayons, only on three living room walls 🙁
I’ve experienced the drippy paint magic erasers as well, and didn’t want to go that route, so I tried several (6?, 7?) of these methods. Goo Gone worked by far the best for me, until I couldn’t stand the smell any more. I tried the DRY magic eraser method that someone commented above and it worked as well as the Goo Gone, if not better! I went through a lot of them, but sometimes easy beats cheap 🙂
