RE: Removing Pen Marks from Wallpaper
Tried the nail varnish technique on my wallpaper to remove pen and now have a lovely white patch and my wall paper was ment to be yellow. Too scared to now try the hairspray so think my daughter's art will be there to stay till we redecorate.

Colgate tooth paste does not work.
Nor does hairspray
Editor's Note: Because there are so many different types of pens, look under the type: Ball point pen, sharpie, gel pen.

Archived Request: Removing Pen Marks from Wallpaper
Could someone advise me on how to remove pen marks out of WALL PAPER... In have tried all sorts and nothing works. Its not painted wall - which would make life easier, it happens to be wall paper which proves a little difficult.

The Mister Clean magic eraser looks like it wouldn't work, but it does. I just used it yesterday on painted walls and wallpaper. Just a couple tips: The thicker, more durable type of wallpaper is harder to get the pen out of, but eventually it seems to come. We experienced a VERY slight discoloration of the wallpaper though. Perhaps the wallpaper was dirty in the first place though :) With thinner, more "papery" types of wallpaper, you have to be careful because you can actually start to wear through the wallpaper if you scrub too long in one place. It also seemed to start to discolor at first because of that reason, but once it dried it looks great. I will be eternally grateful to the friend who recommended this! We have too many little artists in the family. P.S. So far no luck on permanent marker on wallpaper though... if anyone has any ideas on that, feel free to tell me!

try Colgate toothpaste, (the white kind not the gel) and let it set about 10 -15 minutes then clean with a warm damp cloth.

Try spraying it with hairspray first, then using a damp cloth.
