Ink pen. Removing ink pen from walls

Submitted by Kristen Bailey

My two year old daughter got a hold of an ink pen and decided to create her own mural on our bedroom wall. The ONLY thing that erased the ink completely was nail polish remover. Get an old rag and rub it away!!!

Worked - sorta Comments By: Julie on 2005-07-19
Our home has the cheapest flat paint that the builder could find. This fix smeared the ink and removed the paint. But it did make it easier to touchup the paint because the ink was not such an issue.

i first saw the tip on hairspray and toothpaste on another website and followed the directions - no go, I was stressed! then i looked for another tip and found this one. the minute i applied the nail polish remover it lifted. i suppose the success also depends on the type of paint applied to the walls and the ink. so give it a go even if it hasnt worked for others! thanks again..
