Removing Crayon With Toothpaste |
|
|
Use toothpaste to remove crayon from surfaces/walls. Rub in and wipe off! My toddler colored on my living room wall one day (just left the room for a second!) with non-washable crayon. The bright orange picture he drew came off instantly with toothpaste (use paste not gel)! Also works on other surfaces such as tables and floors! Toothpaste also works well for various other marks/messes (i.e. scuffs on the floor and cooked on messes on flat stove tops).

Wow I have been trying to get the crayon off all day and toothpaste took it right off. Now I know what to use if they do it again.

My daughter colored her new kitchen and a vinyl chair. Toothpaste worked great. I even used red Aquafresh and it didn't matter. This was a fantastic tip.

Thank you for such a great tip! One little tip though...don't scrub with your child there. I made the mistake of using the cleaning up process as a means of punishment. The next week there was my daughter rubbing toothpaste on the wall!

toothpaste worked great! we didn't have any plain white toothpaste so i used the tri-color aquafresh and even that worked perfectly after done, just wipe toothpasted area with a damp cloth then dry

thank you lord!!!!.......thanks for the great tip. My landlord was going to bill me for painting the wall as my little monster had drawn a beautiful crayon heart on it. Soap and water had no effect so i searched on gooogle and found this tip. Worked a treat but dont scrub too hard. I used an old toothbrush too, which made it quicker but had to be gentle...thanks again

This was a great idea and worked so well! I tried baking soda and water first-bad idea b/c it took off my paint and not all of the crayon. I used a white-color whitening toothpaste. I wonder if different types or colors makes a difference. Great tip!

Toothpaste works because its a very mild abrasive and OK in an emergency, if you have nothing on hand, but why would you use expensive toothpaste when a smear of cream cleanser would work just as well? I see many tips like this which may be convenient in an emergency but are in no way a thrifty cleaning solution. I even saw vodka suggested for cleaning! I don't know if vodka is very cheap in the USA but here in Australia vodka is far to expensive to use for cleaning - I prefer to drink mine! lol!

Jo
