Ever since I learned about using Mayonnaise to get crayon off the wall I have been obsessed with it. I am embarrassed to say that I have spent way to much time thinking about it and wondering if the Mayonnaise would get other things off the walls or if it was just for crayons.
I finally got enough courage to draw on my wall with pen and permanent marker so I could test it out.
I choose a very discrete place in my pantry that wouldn't show if the Mayonnaise failed to remove the ink, and made two pretty little scribbles.
I rubbed Mayonnaise all over the two marks and let it sit for several minutes. I then came back to scrub the the spots and......
Oh poop! Didn't even smudge it.
Welp, looks like I have some researching to do. Several websites I found said that regular hand sanitizer will get any ink off the wall. I grabbed what was in my diaper bag, squirted a bit on a rag and scrubbed at the ink.
The Verdict: Hooray! Both the pen and the permanent marker came right off with very little effort. A little bit of the paint came off with it but not much.
I now have a way to clean crayons, pen ink and permanent marker from my walls. Lets hope my little gal doesn't find the acrylic paint.
