Sometimes, your home’s walls become an unintended canvas for children. It’s quite common to find coloured pencils, markers, or crayons decorating them. While children’s creativity is wonderful, it can often leave your walls looking messy. Today, we’ll share some simple and quick methods to clean those stubborn stains. (Local18)
First, try using a paste made from baking soda and water. Baking soda is a natural cleaner that works wonders on tough marks. Mix baking soda and water in a small bowl until it forms a thick paste. Apply this to the stained areas and gently scrub. You’ll notice the stains gradually fading. (Local18)
Another excellent option is white vinegar. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth with white vinegar and wipe the marks on the wall. The vinegar helps lift crayon colours and will leave your walls sparkling clean. (Local18)
Toothpaste is another handy solution, not just for your teeth, but for cleaning walls too. Use a non-gel toothpaste, apply it to the stain, rub gently, then wipe away with a damp cloth. The marks will slowly disappear, leaving your walls looking fresher. (Local18)
