My daughter wrote her name in crayon on our rough-wood-paneled wall. What should I use to remove it without damaging the wall?
Answer
Crayon marks can be removed from wooden furniture by rubbing mayonnaise on them. Let it sit for a minute or two, then wipe it off with a damp cloth. However, because your paneling is rough” wood, mayonnaise might seep into the wood and leave a stain. Instead, try dry laundry starch mixed with water according to the package directions. Apply the starch with a clean paintbrush, let it dry, then rub it off with a clean, dry cloth.”
