Ballpoint Pen on Wall |
|
|
My kids took a ballpoint pen and wrote on the latex apartment wall. Magic Eraser & Goo Gone didn't get it of. I'd like to know if anyone has a suggestion or if I should just prime and paint the spots?
Thanks, Aileen

Hairspray melts the pen mark away like magic, but it also melts the paint too.

I used Pantene pro-v hairspray and it worked took! It took a little scrubbing but it worked. After that I just took a wet cloth to clean the hairspray off the wall.

Thanks for the help. Rub baking soda, get pantene pro-v style classic hairspray. It really worked.

Nail Polish remover brings some paint of the wall! But hairspray not as dark as it was before! What else will make it come totally off?

I used the hairspray idea and it worked like a charm! The second I sprayed the hairspray on the pen ink, the ink started running and all I had to do was wipe it and it was gone! Thanks you guys!

I tried nail polish remover, which took the pen off, but it also TOOK THE PAINT OFF THE WALL!

I am a big fan of the magic eraser. I got ballpoint pen on my white leather gucci watch strap and after 5 visits to leather shop/shoe repair/watch repair shop, MR Clean Magic Eraser took the pen off my watch! Amazing. I imagine it would work for any wall as well.

Hairspray does not work at all. It just makes the wall sticky.

I did not have hairspray or nail polish remover but used the Acetone idea. There is some in mosquito repellent. Thanks Florida. Good luck to you guys with toddlers.

Pen needs an alcohol based remover....maybe just try rubbing alcohol before the fumier stuff?

I am a big fan of the Magic Eraser but the one thing it doesn't take off is pen marks on walls. I tried!
Editor's Note: I haven't tried it on ballpoint pen marks but it worked well on dry erase marker that nothing else would take off.

Try WD-40. I think the "Queen of Clean" used that on the walls she needed to clean. Her book is full of good ideas. Used about 7 do far.

Hairspray should work but wash what you have used first off then any type can hairspray but let the walls dry before you start. Spray on the wall and wipe easy with clean cloth do this several times and it should come off. We have used this for years. Dgrams

Oh sorry, my eyes somehow skipped over "magic eraser" in your post. Sorry it didn't work for you.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser has gotten everything off our walls, including red crayon that I had previously not been able to get off.
