lemon + crayon

a while ago, my 2-yo daughter colored on the wall with crayon. i'd read and heard from personal testimonials that lemon essential oil is the household charm. so, i took out a washcloth, wet it, + dripped 3-4 drops of lemon essential oil.

here are the results:

while it didn't take all of the blue off, it did take quite a bit off. and now that it is dry (+ aged about a year), the blue has faded and is unnoticable.

amazing, right? i was impressed.
