Tip for future reference

With the wonderful warm weather we are having today I decided to spring clean a bit. I started in the children's room first considering it needed it the worst. Room cleaned, mattress's flipped, toys wiped down it was time to work on the closet. I had not realized it but my darling little angel had drawn on the back wall with a dry erase marker. I don't know if any of you have had this happen to you but I tried everything I could think of to get it off. Dish soap, baking soda, Fels, vinegar, nothing seemed to work. Frustrated I sat down at the computer and decided to type in "How to clean dry erase maker off walls" It took me right to triftyfun and I found the answer. Rubbing alcohol. I never even thought of that one. I went in with my little bottle and gave it a wipe. Off it came. Amazing! I am writing that one down for future reference.
