Young Artist’s "Mural"
Dear Aunt Daisy, I would much appreciate advice through your page in The Listener on a problem which surely must be a perenttial one-how to remove a "mural" applied in red and black crayon to new very light coloured wallpaper, which has a textured, pebbled effect. The artist is a two-year-old! "Mural." Yes, this is a perennial problem, and one which does not always respond to the same treatment. However, try rubbing (not too hard) with soft white bread. Use a clean piece as often as one ets soiled. Then dab gently with a cloth m@istened with carbon-tetrachloride or turpentine. Don’t rub, or you will spoil the paper. Another idea, after using the bread, is to make a thickish paste or plaster with powdered magnesia and carbon-tetrachloride (both from _ the chemist), and lay. a thick layer on the wallpaper over the stain. Leave it for 24 hours, then brush. off. The marks should be gone then.
