How do you remove marks from a wall?

[#1]

I’ve used magic erasers before and have found them to be very effective.

Next, try sugar soap. 

Depending on how well the walls come up after using the erasers and sugar soap, I would be inclined to suggest you consider painting the walls. Most marks will be easily removed with cleaner but any marks that have scraped the top layer of paint off will need repainting. It will also improve the look of the room considerably. I would advise using a good quality washable interior acrylic like Dulux Wash & Wear.

If you take a sample of your paint into a Bunnings store they can colour match it for you. Alternatively, you can take some colour cards home with you to test against your wall. These colour cards are more accurate than what will appear on a phone screen. - MitchellMc

Try a magic eraser, otherwise I’ve used adhesive cleaner and solvent (in an aerosol can) to remove marks on walls before. Nail polish remover works too. - prettyliving

Sugar Soap. I see it also comes in wipes now. - Brad

There are some specific cleaning products available in the section at Bunnings, but Sugar Soap is great stuff. - Peggers

We've been painting in the past week and wondering why we didn't do it sooner. After patching and then a couple of coats of paint, some previously neglected bedroom walls look like new again.

Hello, well it seems like you have exhausted all your cleaning options.It sounds as if a coat of paint would be advised.Obviously you have already done the hard yards so off to Bunnings for advice on what you will need to start.A good quality undercoat is invaluable and I used British paint wash and wear. This will help with future marks that can be gently washed away. I always keep a small amount of the paint just in case but it does not last forever. When you have finished it completely put a baby gate around it so you never have to wash it again hahaha 😝
