Some horrible 2 year old visiting us last night drew on our lovely walls! (Biro Pen)

The wall were re-skimmed about 2 years ago, and are painted magnolia.

How can we remove the ink squiggles - he had the pen in his hand a good 20 secs:(

Very desperate.

All suitable sugestions will be thanked :beer:

    I think I remember something about rubbing the pen marks with bread and also something else about using milk to remove stains on walls. (Don't think you soak the bread in the milk though - use them separately!!!)

    Have a look at the Indexed Collections at the top of the OS home page.

    Sorry I can't do links, but there are various mentions of Biro and wall cleaning.

    Good luck.

    Hi the_tired_one,

    At the top of the main Old Style (OS) page there is something called 'The Old Style (Thrifty) Resource Bar. Just below that there are links, one of which is to the Indexed Collections. If you click on that you will find a list of indexes of older threads.

    Hope this helps.

    Pink
