To remove crayon scribbles spray with WD-40 and wipe off with a cloth.

Note:  This tip is only for regular crayons and does not work for those horrible water-based crayons.  Also, I do not recommend this for material; but if you do use it for that, you can use dish soap to remove the grease spot from the cloth.

To remove ink marks use rubbing alcohol or a hairspray with a high alcohol content, such as Aquanet.

Depending on where the ink mark is, you can try either rubbing it with an alcohol-moistened rag or pouring the alcohol directly on the mark.  If the mark is on the clothing or other material, follow this treatment with a little bit of soap and warm water.

Thanks for the cleaning tips, Revka, although I hope I never have to use them.  And by the way, see the lady in this picture?  Why in the world is she smiling while she is cleaning crayon marks off the wall?

Do you have any thrifty cleaning tips/remedies you would like to share?
