Help! I discovered that our 2 year old drew on the wall behind her bedroom door with an ink pen. Any suggestions for how to get it off? I tried the Mr. Clean magic eraser but all that did was start to take the yellow paint off the wall
What kind of ink is it? If it's permanent marker, that will be tough and may need to be painted over. if it's a ball-point pen, try hair spray - it works really well on fabrics.
SOL-U-MEL or repainting. we've had to do both for that issue
If it's just ink pen. I say try Magic Eraser. I think it will work.
I used my Shark Steam mop on crayon and stuff and most of it came off, It also took off some of the ink. If your paint isn't going to stand up to scrubbing then the only thing you can do is paint. Your 2 yr. old will do it agian so make sure the new paint is washable. I gave up, we covered the bottom the 3 yr. old's room with the white sheets of tub surround from Lowes. It was very inexpensive and the kids can use markers on it, anything. I painted above it and decorated the top half of the room to coordinate.
I think the official name of the wood we used it White Water-resistant Panel Board.
I have used Basic H2 by Shaklee. There are many uses for this organic, non-toxic cleaner. Ink is one of thousands of things it will remove....including gum, wax. stains...the list goes on and on. always safe, always green and always effective. Here is a link to check it out.

I can send lots of recipes of ways to use it. I swear by it and would not live without it! I do share/sell it and can get it to you quickly and I can help you save money on your cleaners. Go green. Oprah loves Shaklee Get Clean.... as seen on her favorites show. How cool is that. Hope this helps. Good luck.....kids will be kids, it could have been worse. ha
Maybe rubbing alcohol will work?
If its just a small "murial" try mixing a little craft paint to match the shade on the wall and use a thin brush to trace over the ink. I say craft paint because its cheap and sometimes found for under a dollar.
I have a product that will work!! ###-###-####
SOL-U-MEL. It’s a natural product manufactured by Melaleuca that gets EVERYTHING out. It took out permanent marker from our couch upholstery.
