Help! ink on wallpaper

dehaani

Have you tried an eraser or hairspray? If that doesn't work then I think the wallpaper is ruined.

Sometimes squishy white bread can take some of it off. Other than that, hairspray takes it off when it's a slightly shiny/satiny finish, I think.

Only other suggestion is don't leave biros where toddlers can get hold of them. Too many small bits on them and the ink goes everywhere if they can get the rollerball bit off. In fact, all pens, pencils, crayons, markers and pointy things need to be kept practically under lock and key until they are approximately 10 (trust me, I know these things!)

Then you will be permanently searching for your sticky tape and scissors, just not worrying they are stabbing each other with them, though!

Someone told me that antibacterial hand gel gets biro from a wooden table? I would give it a go on the bottom corner of the wallpaper to test it first though...

I know WD40 gets crayon off but I've never had a biro incident!!

Hi Shazba

as this had dropped down the board, I have merged it with an older thread asking the same question. Let us know if hairspray works - it sure shoul!

I would try one of those magic 'eraser' sponges - it seems to work on most marks on wallpaper.

Does anyone have any old style ways of removing this?

My 2 year old son has written all over the childminders newly decorated wall. :eek:

Try hairspray, something about the alcohol in it apparently. Got orange felt tip out of a wool rug for me!
