Mom Hack: Crayon Removal
I just discovered a cleaning hack that I need to share with you!
My toddler drew on the wall with crayon today. It felt like a right of passage for me as a mom, this never happened with my first child. Believe it or not, my gut reaction was excitement to see if I any of my natural cleaners would do the trick.
I decided to make a baking soda paste to see if it would work. This was an experiment. I hadn’t looked it up to see whether or not it would work but I know baking soda paste is a powerful cleaner. It worked to clean my very old greasy grill (see on Instagram).
Baking Soda Paste:
To make baking soda paste, you simply mix baking soda a water until you have a paste consistency.
For Crayon Removal:
Put baking soda paste right on the wall where the crayon is.
Wet a microfiber cloth (or other cloth).
And rub the crayon and paste off!
Witness the wonder!!
My mind was blown. I cannot believe how easy this was, it comes off as though its a dry erase board!! To be honest, I’m like - I should let my kids draw on the wall more - it was so easy to remove and it was fun too! If you’d like to see it in action, watch this reel!
Just for fun, I drew on my wall with permanent marker and pen to see if the baking soda paste would work. I had to scrub a little harder with the cloth but it worked!
If the wall is gritty at all from the paste, spray the vinegar cleaning spray on the wall and wipe it down.
