crayon mark removal

Plain white toothpaste will remove crayon from walls and floors. Just put a dab on a soft cloth and rub the crayon mark gently---the toothpaste takes the crayon mark right off, without damaging the surface.

try it out on the wall behind the sofa or the bed. that way, if it don't work, no harm.

just tried what we use (crest extra whitening) on a door that is flat white.

worked just fine. put a little on a dry wash clothe and lightly rubbed and off came the crayon.

I like the permanent markers myself. Maybe that's why Pat blows a gasket when I use the wall. Rolling Eyes

Hey the markers are easier to see.

plain white tooth paste also fills pin holes from picture hangers and nails great for quick repairs .

chuckie, i'm suprised pat even allows you to use pencils. Laughing

Dave,
I would have loved to have seen the owners face I bet he went ballistic. Laughing

That was a good idea hanging the hood on a wall.
