Crayon on the LCD flat screen tv :/

Left the little one alone for a bit and she colored all over the tv :( A wet paper towel isn't cleaning it off very well, any ideas for getting it off?

oooh that sucks.....my kids got into the wifes lipstick at that age and colored the couch....we had to have it removed and cleaned for about $100(20 yrs ago)

I hear those mr clean magic erasers are pretty good.

Let me see. Crayons are waxy and probably soften if heated. I am thinking 
flame thrower or maybe a hair dryer. I am still old technology TV (glass 
screen) so I really have no experience in the LCD screen area. I have those
at work, on the computer, and they feel soft. The baby wipes soound like a
reasonable idea, but I have not had any experience with those recently, 
either. Good luck. That sort of thing really sucks.

Not speaking from experience here but the blow dryer doesn't sound insane (like the flame thrower) as far as softening and removing.

If I had to make a call after that I'd try alcohol and (damn, I'm not at work but it's like hard tissue paper) and that might work. Or possibly another thing I use for cleaning my Livescan machine is tape. Granted I use special tape but the concept should work the same either way. You tape over the thing you want lifted and remove the tape. It's more stuck to the tape than ot the screen and tape goop wipes off rather easy.

Don't try the flamethrower.

Don't know what will get crayon marks off, but be careful of liquid cleaners dripping down--that will ruin a screen quicker than anything!
