    Default Bath crayon disaster! Help!

    Hubby is going to go mad. I bought DD some bath crayons the other day and she had a great time. When she got out of the bath she scribbled all over the outside of the bath which is obviously made of a different material. It won't come off. Help, help, help. Any ideas on how I can get it off?

    It just washed straight off the inside of the bath, but not the outside

    oh this is a new one on me, I really thought they were just soap, sorry no help at all, is it the colour that has stained? Have you tried a baby wipe?

    Nail polish remover? But maybe try a tiny area first in case it causes more damage.

    Bar Keepers Friend is very good for things like this - daughter (grown up) got hair dye on toilet seat used bar keepers and it came off - you can get it from tesco, asda etc

    Good luck

    An hairdryer on normal crayons normally works as it melts it - it might do the same on bath crayons
    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    I love cif- the kitchen one and the bathroom one. Might be worth a try-they do seem to get rid of just about everything, especially grease. Hope you manage to get it off.

    I find that magic eraser works magic. Available from JML and ASDA. It has revmoved loads when all else has failed. It comes in a block and you cutmto size and wipe. I used it for bath crayons on my jacuzzi and it worked. X x
    I have some that I can post to you if you pm me your address x x

    Thanks for that!!! I'm really bad at getting hair bye everywhere especially the foam one which doesn't make a mess ! I'll get some in ready for next time, save the tongue lashing I usually get from DH

    Thanks so much everyone. I tried lemon and bicarb and it made it fade a bit but didn't get it off. Ordered some of the products online and magic eraser arrived first and so I used that. It pretty much got it off!! It took a bit off elbow grease to make it work but now you couldn't see it unless you were looking for it. When I get time I might give it another scrub and see if it will come off completely. The barkeepers friend has also arrived and so I should give that one a go too. Thank you soooo much everyone! x
