How to get handprints off my walls?

Question

I run a daycare so you can only imagine what my walls look like about 2 feet up from the floor. I have tried everything to clean them and nothing is working. Does anyone have any good solutions to get grimey little handprints off my walls? And yes, I wash their hands all time!

Answer 1

Scrubbing bubbles. Works great! Also...Pledge brings crayon off the walls.

Answer 2

If you have washable paint on the walls magic sponge with a product called greased lighting (buy at dollar store)

Answer 3

Clorox Clean up has removed my little one's art work with marker and crayons, as well as hand prints in everything from food grease to mud.  I use a scrubber sponge with it and gently work the area.  If you have carpet on the floors, spread a piece or two of newspaper over it before spraying - it is a bleach product.  

Answer 4

I have 4 kids and find that the magic eraser works best.

Answer 5

If your walls have a flat latex paint, you will have to repaint the wall. If it's a semigloss, it might come off but none the less, you may want to keep a brush, roller, and paint handy for touch up. It goes with the territory.

Answer 6

The magic eraser is definitely the solution- I had scuff marks on my walls I had been trying to remove for TWO YEARS and it worked like a charm!  The cheap ones work just as well, so if you can find a dollar store version, go for it.
