Have your kids ever taken a crayon to the wall?? Mine have! When I first became a mommy I used to keep up with the marks pretty regularly. But lately... things have gotten out of hand. Marks like this are all over the house:
To demonstrate the power of baking soda I first tried cleaning the area with a damp rag and soap. In the end the crayon was lighter, but it was still totally there.
Like I said, when I was a younger parent I would take care of such things fairly quickly. I tried all of my cleaners back then and none of them worked. If you've ever heard that magic erasers were made from baking soda, then you've heard correctly.
All I do is take a damp rag, dip it into baking soda and scrub the marks off the wall:

To show you the power of baking soda, you may see my kitchen sink before picture:
I sprinkled the sink with baking soda. I wet my rag in a different sink, then scrubbed away.
See how nice and shiny?:
What kind of things do you use baking soda for?

Baking soda is a Queen of my kitchen! Nice tips, too! I had no idea about the magic eraser—never used it, but yes, the soda works on crayons!
Thank you for WFMW tip, I googled it and already added to this post :)
I've never used the magic eraser either. I found baking soda first! LOL!
Have you considered putting the crayons out of reach?!
Ha! Good point! :) I *can* make excuses as to why I can't, but I won't!
