Life Hack: Toddler Proof Your Walls
If you have a toddler, your walls might look a little bit like this ⬆️
If you are like me, you are horrified by it.
I tried everything to clean my walls but it always took the paint off. Once I tried to use a steamer and it took the drywall off!
And then out of desperation I tried Scrub Daddy's Power Paste with a Scrub Mommy and I about fell over when I saw how easily it cleaned my walls, without taking the paint off.
Even my cheap, matte, paint in my rental house survived a cleaning with the Scrub Daddy Power Paste.
All I had to do was use the soft side of the sponge, clean the walls and then dip my sponge in a bucket of water and go back over them again to clean off the paste.
Just look at the before and after. 🤯
if you have toddlers, Don't sleep on this hack. You don't have to pick between your clean walls and having paint.

Okay, fellow parents, let's be real – the moment you turn your back, your little artist has probably redecorated your pristine walls with a masterpiece of crayon or marker! I've been there, staring at those colorful scribbles, wondering if my security deposit was doomed or if I'd be repainting every month. It's a common battle, and while my main solution (Scrub Daddy Power Paste!) was a game-changer, I know many of you are looking for other ways to tackle this sticky situation or even prevent it. First, let's talk prevention. For new parents or those planning a repaint, investing in 'crayon proof wall paint' or at least a good quality washable paint can save you so much heartache. It creates a more durable, easier-to-clean surface. But what about when the art is already up? Many of you, like me, might have wondered, 'can I use Fabuloso to clean walls?' While Fabuloso is fantastic for general cleaning and smells amazing, I've found it's not always the best for tough crayon or marker marks without some extra elbow grease. For general grime and fingerprints, a diluted solution might work, but always do a test spot first, especially on matte or delicate paints, to avoid any paint lifting. It's better suited for light dirt than stubborn art. If you're looking for a 'best homemade wall cleaning solution', a simple baking soda paste (baking soda mixed with a little water) can be surprisingly effective. Gently rub it onto crayon marks with a soft cloth, then wipe clean. For 'pencil remover from walls', a regular white eraser often does the trick for graphite, or again, a gentle baking soda paste. Another old reliable is a mixture of warm water and a few drops of dish soap – great for general dirt. And let's not forget the 'sponge for cleaning walls'! While I swear by my Scrub Mommy with the Power Paste, a 'magic eraser' can also be incredibly effective for marks, but again, use it gently and test it first, as it can sometimes remove a thin layer of paint if you scrub too hard. For general wall cleaning, a soft sponge or microfiber cloth is your best friend. No matter which method you try, remember the key: gently apply, wipe, and then rinse with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue. My personal discovery of 'Scrub Daddy Power Paste' was truly a lifesaver for those stubborn 'crayon and marker marks' that nothing else seemed to touch without ruining my walls. It’s like it was designed specifically for this kind of toddler terror, leaving my walls looking pristine without any damage. It's a real time-saver and stress-reducer for parents like me. So, whether you go for a homemade concoction, a trusty 'magic eraser', or my absolute favorite, the Power Paste, know that clean walls are possible! Don't let those little artists win the battle of the walls. With a little know-how, you can keep your home looking fresh and welcoming, even with toddlers around!
