when i worked in a nursery, we used a number of things. You could try ;

- ciff and a scourer and scrub it

- baby wipes (didn't always work)

- anti bac spray and a cloth!!!

Good Luck getting it off!!

When my westie was young it chewed a black biro on all wool red carpet - got some advice on here and it worked - hope someone comes up with the right answer soon and your walls are back to being clean and biro free.

Hairspray is the best on biro and felt tip.
JML magic sponge on crayon.
Steam cleaner works its magic on lipstick.
WD40 works good on those stains too.
*sigh*
Amazing what you learn when you have little artists in the house that dont use the paper you got for them!

Milk takes biro and real ink out of cotton and polycotton mix.

Polish also stops door hinges squeaking and is less messy than oil or WD40.
