  Marker and Paint Usage and Cleaning

  Our Wipeable Murals work with either Crayola Brand Washable Markers, or Crayola Brand Washable Paint, and wipe off with water and sponge, or a hose with a trigger sprayer (but don't use a pressure washer!) We recommend wiping the mural at the end of every day for the longest lifespan. NOTE—Crayons and Dry Erase Markers DO NOT wipe off.

  For Crayola Washable Markers (often labeled "Ultra-Clean" these days), we recommend buying the sets of TEN "Classic Colors", which add a pink and gray to the more commonly found sets of eight. Then we recommend supplementing that with a couple of boxes of Crayola "Multicultural Colors", which give you eight shades of brown, which are handy for skin tones as well as animals. Depending on expected traffic, clients usually get between 60 and 144 total markers.

  Wipeables also work well with Crayola brand Washable Paint. We offer a "Full Paint Kit" for $135, which includes 13 bottles of Crayola Washable Paint (16 oz), 96 little paint brushes, 500 little paper "ketchup cups" (which are an easy distribution method), 6 metal muffin pans (which are handy to organize the ketchup cups), a water spray bottle (to help keep the paint from drying out), plastic cups, some handi-wipes, and shipping.

  We also offer just the 13 bottles of paint for $65. That's just the paint and shipping.

  What Size Do You Suggest?

  What Size Do You Suggest?

  A 16x5 is plenty big for most events, since you'll be wiping down often anyway. Consider the larger sizes only if you'd really like the look of having a larger mural.  Look at the 12x5 for smaller community events. Only consider the 8x5 size if you're pressed for space, or really you have a really low throughput situation.

  Care and Storage and Lifespan

  Care and Storage and Lifespan

  These murals are printed in 4' sections and made into one piece with special glue/adhesive joints and reinforcements. To maximize the lifespan of those joints, we want you to do two things. 1) Store the mural in a somewhat climate controlled area—don't put it in a storage shed out by the interstate that gets super hot or super cold. 2) For storage, we recommend that you roll it "fat"—24"diameter or so, so big that you can't fit your arms around it. We SHIP your mural rolled tight to fit in it's shipping tube, but it's NOT GOOD for the those joints and the material to STORE it that tightly. You can keep the tube for transport or shipping, but don't use it for storage.

  There are two other factors that affect the lifespan of your mural. 3) You should wipe it off at the end of every day, or every other day. You can wipe every week, but that may affect it's long-term wipeability. 4) Keep you participants from using their own markers or sharpies. If you have days, or times of day, where you think you'll have a more rowdy crowd, consider closing the activity and covering the mural.

  If you follow these recommendations, we've had several clients get to 700 or 800 total days of coloring and wiping.
