Your blow-dryer can pull double-duty when it comes to getting crayon off walls. Why?

You’ll need:

  • A hair dryer
  • Dishwashing liquid
  • A microfiber cloth
  • Water

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1
    Mix dishwashing liquid with hot water

    In a bowl, mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid with hot water. You want the water to be hot so that it helps melt the crayon wax.

  2. 2
    Step 2
    Blow dry on low setting

    Turn your blow dryer on and aim it at the crayon on the walls. Start with a lower heat setting and adjust as needed. Your goal is to warm the wax up so that it begins to melt.

    Turn off your dryer, unplug it and set it aside in a safe place.

    Step 3
