Brilio.net - Scribbles on the wall , especially from pencils, markers, or crayons, are often an annoying and difficult problem to remove. These scribbles not only damage the aesthetic appearance of the room, but can also give the impression of an unkempt house. Although various methods have been tried to clean them, scribbles are often stubborn and leave marks that are difficult to remove.
Cleaning graffiti on walls usually requires extra effort and the right cleaning products. However, improper cleaning methods can cause the wall paint to peel or become damaged. This happens because the chemicals in strong cleaners or excessive friction when cleaning can damage the paint layer and cause it to peel. As a result, the wall that was previously only graffitied looks worse with damaged paint.
To deal with graffiti on the wall without damaging the paint, careful cleaning techniques and the use of appropriate products are required. To be safer, you can use a trick done by Instagram user @indah3yani.

Baking soda has good cleaning ability. When mixed with a little water, baking soda can lift graffiti stains from walls. Well, baking soda can penetrate and loosen the stain particles so they are easier to remove.
On the other hand, baking soda has a neutral pH, meaning it is neither strongly acidic nor strongly alkaline. This makes baking soda safe to use on a variety of surfaces, including wall paint, without causing a chemical reaction that could damage or strip the paint.
