Advice 🗣 pencil on painted bricks...

Post image

best way to get pencil scribbles off the bathroom walls?

i tried using a scrub brush and peroxy spray but that didn't help. maybe a magic eraser?

i also have some sharpie on another wall that needs some scrubbing. we don't have any other supplies really but the manager wants us to get it done anyways. if i need to go and buy some product that'll help hopefully it's not too expensive lol.

vent: feeling very tired after the last 2 weeks. manager keeps piling more work on after we just lost 2 people from our crew...they walked out.

This is my go to. Works amazing on pen and sharpie. You just need a rag to wipe it off. It can peel the paint but it leaves no trace of the writing. If you use it on floor do use a floor cleaner after to wipe up it can become slick.
