How do you remove pen from a wall?

How in the world do you get pen off of painted walls? We are in the middle of moving out of our house and are selling it, and my child found a pen in the moving box, and you can guess what happened. What helps?

Magic erasers. The mr clean brand that are ā€œsā€ shaped. Get them soaking wet too that helps a lot

If you have time to stop by a Home Depot I bought these for painted walls and it has gotten permanent marker out. Worth it

Magic eraser or hairspray

The pink stuff from Amazon

If you have a Dollar Tree near you pick up a bottle of Awsome. Its a yellowish color in a spray bottle in the cleaning supplies section. Its amazing. I use it on laundryā€¦rust mark off counterā€¦perm marker. You wonā€™t be sorry!

Mr. Clean. Burning hot water and bleach. Or just plain bleach sprayed on the wall. Just make sure you wear a white t.

Baby wipes work on a lot of things too. And its something most people have on hand. But yea if baby wipes wont do it then magic eraser should just be careful it could take paint off too.

Someone told me toothpaste takes off crayon and marker but I havenā€™t tried it so not sure

Magic eraser and rubbing alcohol.

Banana boat sunscreen spray. Spray it on and it will come right off. Works for permanent marker too. One of my kids drew a giant stick man on their wall :woman_facepalming:t2:

Magic eraser works best when itā€™s wet

Time to replace the child

This might sound weird, but Iā€™ve found that germx or any hand sanitizer takes off any kind of marker, maybe thatā€™d work :woman_shrugging:t2:

Magic eraser they are my favorite thing to use. I am using them as my kids decided to use crayons on their walls.

Toothpaste. Let it sit for 5 mins and wipes right off. Works on crayon, marker, pen and sharpie. No scrubbing at all. My son was the worst at drawing on the walls

Depends if u have flat paint or glossā€¦ if flat paint then u need to repaint unfortunatelyā€¦ everything will strip the pain off actual wall

Take an erasable expo type marker and completely cover the pen like fully cover. Then take hand sanitizer on a paper towel or probably even just water on a paper towel and rub it off. The pen will stick to the marker and everything will come off

It is the alcohol in the hand sanitizer that makes it work. Use rubbing alcohol. No water, water sets ink.

Magic erasers will usually do the trick, but if itā€™s particularly stubborn, Toothpaste on a toothbrush and some scrubbing usually gets the job done right.

Magic Eraser! (I also only clean my tub with them!)

Magic eraser might also take the paint off the wall. Try good ol hot, soapy water first. You might need to just paint over it

Alcohol or hairspray

Iā€™ve used hair spray to get it out of clothes and it completely removed it. I would think it would work on a wall.

I heard WD40 works am about to try it now as landlord is coming tomorrow morning Iā€™ll let you know :upside_down_face:

Do NOT use a magic eraser. They are basically super fine grit sand paper and will ruin the paint. Use rubbing alcohol, but spot test.

Hair spray took the paint off my walls, I just stick to using gumption now.

Alchohol. And yes I paint houses.

Paintā€¦lots of paint. :joy:

i encourage my children to draw on the walls & carpet . i enjoy the priceless decor better than any designs that can be found at the store.
that being said, acetone is a sure fire way to remove any inks or paint. JUST ONE OR TWO DROPS on a q tip will do the trick right quick. just lightly run the qtip along the lines drawn. donā€™t over do it or it will eat the wall paint.
