2. Eraser
Erasers don't only remove pencil markings, but crayon marks too. If you have some pencil erasers handy, dampen them slightly with warm water. Rub the crayon stains with the eraser until you see the color fade. The nice thing about this solution is that you don't get your walls too wet. And if you can't get the color off completely, sponge it with soap and water to remove the last bit.Related: The Super Clever Kitchen Floor-Cleaning Trick We Wish We'd Known About Sooner
3. Vinegar
Amazon
If you're looking for an easy way to remove crayon marks, vinegar is the perfect solution! Vinegar has a touch of acidity, which helps break down the crayon stains without ruining your walls. Grab a toothbrush and scrub the stain very lightly with white vinegar. While vinegar can be effective, it's not the best for every type of paint. Go slow at first while you try it—if you notice the paint wear away, stop immediately and switch to a different solution. Be sure to rinse the wall with warm water when you're done.
4. Baking Soda
Amazon
For frequent bakers, baking soda is probably lying around in your pantry. The great news is that baking soda doubles as a cleaning product. Mix some baking soda and water in a container until it thickens up. Using a towel or rag, slowly spread it on the crayon stain. Once the color's all gone, rinse the spot with water.
5. Mayonnaise
Amazon
This is an easy at-home remedy for removing crayon markings, as toothpaste has substances that are mildly abrasive. This means it's great for whitening your teeth and getting rid of stains, too! Using a toothbrush or your finger, gently rub toothpaste over the crayon stain. Scrub lightly until the color disappears. Then, rinse with water when you're all done.

Glass cleaners like Windex can also clean wall stains. For this solution, be sure to let the Windex sit on the stain for a few minutes because it needs time to break down the crayon. Use a towel or cloth to remove it (once ready). The nice thing about this solution is it's non-abrasive, so the risk of damaging your walls is relatively low.
8. Magic Eraser
Amazon
A popular Mr. Clean product, Magic Eraser is known for its expert stain-removing skills. There are a few varieties of this product, but we recommend the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Extra Durable for effectively and quickly removing crayon from your walls. Dip your Magic Eraser in water to start. Then, ring out the water and gently scrub the crayon. You should see it start to disappear within the first minute.

WD-40 Multi-Use is ready to help you get the crayon off your wall. If you want to skip the scrubbing, WD-40 Multi-Use is just what you need. Simply spray, wait and voilà—the crayon is gone!
