Easily Clean Crayon off your Walls

MORE TIPS:

What is it about nice clean walls that makes children want to draw all over them. It seems like no matter how many sheets of paper or coloring books are offered, some amount of crayon always makes it’s way on to the walls. Even though we cherish every piece of art created by our little ones, we could all do without the drawings that dirty our walls. This type of mess can be a total disaster, and many people find it hard to clean. Luckily this is one of those chores that seems harder than it really is, and can be cleaned easily with the right tools.

Crayon on any surface, but especially on walls, is rather easy to remove. This is another job that Quick’n Brite is especially good at. This stuff will even remove candle wax from clothes and carpet, so a little crayon on a hard surface is simple. Because of how it works, it is uniquely suited to this task. Quick’n Brite is an all natural enzyme cleaner that works great on hundreds of jobs. It will break apart the waxy build-up that is the crayon and lift it off the surface so that you can easily wipe it away. Because it is all natural, and doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals, it is totally safe around children and pets, and won’t ever discolor or otherwise ruin any surface you apply it to. This great cleaner will completely remove all signs of the crayon quickly and easily.

How to do it:

Gather your supplies. You will need your Quick’n Brite (best to use a heavy solution which is 3tbs into a quart spray bottle of water. You could also use the paste or liquid full strength) For best results, and the easiest time, you will also want a microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth is great and will remove smaller build-up like fingerprints and smudges from walls all by itself. When combined with the Quick’n Brite they offer unmatched cleaning ability. You will find that a similar technique, and these two tools will be perfect for cleaning all over your home. Just spray and wipe away.

  1. Wet your microfiber or other cloth and then wring until it is just damp.
  2. Apply the Quick’n Brite to the affected areas of your walls. The easiest way, once again is in a spray bottle. Just spray liberally all over. You could also use the paste or liquid using a scrub sponge or similar tool to apply it.
  3. Let the cleaner sit for a few minutes to give it time to work. While it ists it will be breaking down the waxy crayon, and then floating it off the wall’s surface thanks to the natural surfactant involved.
  4. Once the cleaner has had time to work, just come back and wipe clean with your microfiber cloth.

That’s all there is to it. There is no scrubbing or hard work involved.  You will find it incredibly easy to remove crayon from your walls using this tried and tested technique. To prevent further damage to your precious walls you might try some preventative measures also. Hang large sheets of paper or newsprint on the walls where your children like to draw the most. You could offer some sort of reward for drawing here instead of the rest of the house. It probably won’t be nearly as apealling as an actual wall that mom or dad would have to clean, but it is worth a shot.
