Removing Wax Crayon froma painted wall

[markf]

Hi,

It finally happened - my three year old has run a black crayon mark up the stairs wall. The wall is papered with a low relief paper and painted on over.

Can anyone suggest a good way to remove the crayon mark?

Thanks
Mark

Try Kitchen paper towel and a hot iron,place the towel over the crayon mark and apply the iron. If its a wax crayon the heat should melt it and the towel should suck most of it of the paint.
It wont remove it completely but you will be able to repaint.
