The problem of multi-colored patterns on wallpaper is familiar to all families raising small children.

However, noticing a mark from a felt-tip pen does not mean that you will have to do some repairs in the near future.

Instead, stock up on toothpaste (it’s better if it’s the cheapest option) and alcohol.

Measure out 1 teaspoon of toothpaste and put it in a suitable container. Add some alcohol here.

To prevent the mixture from becoming too liquid, half a teaspoon of alcohol is enough for one spoon of paste.

Mix the cleaning mixture until smooth and apply it carefully to the stained areas. Then, using an old toothbrush, lightly scrub the areas.

After 10 minutes, you can start washing the paste off the wallpaper. A damp cloth is the best way to do this.

As a preventative measure against the appearance of such stains, it is worth mentioning the use of washable wallpaper for decorating the room - this way, it will not be difficult to cope with the “tests of the pen” of the young artist.
