Ink off walls

[twinsmom]

Do any of you have any great solutions for getting ink (from a ball point pen) off of painted walls? The kids decided that one of our walls needed some... color... . Nothing I've tried seems to work. Any ideas out there?? Thanks in advance!!

magic eraser by mister clean!

Magic Eraser is the only way to go! Those things are amazing. In the interim, you could spray some hairspray on there but I'm not sure what that would do to the paint.

If that doesn't work, try goof off

Yep, that magic eraser thing is great!

I tried the magic eraser (it has worked for everything else I have dealt with), but this time, it didn't do anything to get the ink off... AUGGGG!!!!!!

If you have any hairspray around, it might be worth a squirt or two to dissolve the ink.
Good luck!
I've never met a mark on the wall that the Magic Eraser didn't take care of. That must be some serious ink!

Coat of paint......get an extra gallon, because it is bound to happen again!

Matt, don't forget the primer...if she doesn't prime it, the ink will just show through. (I know this from personal experience :| )

Magic eraser. If that doesen't work, primer & paint.
