My MIL gave my girls some Easter-themed window clings (thanks grandma). They were multi-colored and gummy/jelly-like. To my horror, my 4 year old put them on her WHITE dresser and there are now colored spots on there in the shape of eggs, bunnies and flowers that I CAN'T REMOVE! I've tried Soft Scrub with Bleach, which usually gets everything off that white furniture, but to no avail. Any ideas on what would work on that???
try a magic eraser - but be carreful it MAY remove paint. Or, if nothing else works, paint over it. White is pretty easy to match.
Magic eraser will take it right off, I woudl be surprised it they didn't. A lot of parents tend to stay away from these because of the burn warnings that they have burnt children's skins so obviously, dont let you daughter use them...(had to add that in because I have been attacked on here before for suggesting them!)

Have you tried a magic eraser? I have six kids and I have learned that between huggies all natural baby wipes and an arm and hammer magic eraser I can get anything off my walls and doors (even permenant marker) with a little elbow grease.
Try Sol-u-mel. It is a miracle cleaner that gets out EVERYTHING!!
I second the magic eraser suggestion. That always works for me.
Sol-u-mel from biogreen. Works on everything. got easter egg dye out of my kids brand new shirts, my kitchen table and our linoleum floor. My 5 year old spilled the blue egg dye.
I'm curious to see the other answers...I HATE gel clings, for that reason. My son very kindly washed our windows, and placed the gel clings on our Amish dining room table--yup--Valentine hearts on my table! It took about a year, and obviously lots of washing every time we ate, but they did fade/disappear--I don't think I can see them at all now.
I'm a nanny (as well as a M. of four) and the exact same thing happened to the girl I nanny! Those Easter-themed window cling-ons and white painted furniture! Since I'm an artist, the first thing I thought about was to re-paint the furniture (ha). If you find out that one of the suggestions from other moms here works, please let us know!
