In a nutshell - to get dried boogers off the wall:1) get a handfull of toilet paper and get it wet
2) tear off a little piece of wet tp and cover the booger
3) wait 10 - 20 minutes depending on thickness of the booger
4) easily wipe it off

boogers off the wall
As Sid the Sloth says on Ice Age... "Humans are disgusting." That's what I've been thinking tonight as I helped Ethan with one of his chores - we're on a Booger hunt. Why do kids have to wipe their noses on the wall? I mean honestly, it is really that difficult to go get a tissue? It's really annoying when you find the boogers on the wall right by the toilet paper dispenser. I'm not sure the psychology behind their thinking.

But I have found a way to minimize the stress of cleaning them all off - and with 6 kids with active fingers, we almost have full time booger art going on here. Here's the tip which was Ethan's chore tonight - put wet toilet paper on all the boogers on the walls. Corey later asked me about the tp on the walls. I explained that Ethan and I were trying to soften up the snot so we could get it off without chipping off the paint or spending 10 minutes rubbing a hard booger with no sign of it budging. Corey was amazed at my creativity. "Brilliant! How do you think of these things?" I'm just a natural! It just came to me one day as I was washing walls - instead of trying to let it soak with a washcloth which I would have to hold there, I went and got a little bit of tissue wet in water, and it stuck right on the wall like a spit wad, where it softens up the kid booger until you're ready to wipe it clean. I still have a few wads on the wall that I need to go find, but since they've been soaking for an hour, it's a quick and easy job. Ta-Da!

ReplyDeleteAgreed it totally works. I am so excited
DeleteSuch an awesome life hack! Thanks for sharing.
DeleteWe reshared with our fans on Facebook as well (https://www.facebook.com/Doral360/posts/751906421496098).
Tell me this works with cat boogers! My babies have a persistent case of FHV and sneeze on everything!
DeleteI hate to have to say this, but thanks for the solution. My son has befouled the walls in our house and I wasn't sure how to tackle the clean up issue. Next issue: wall booger prevention.
ReplyDeleteI was embarrassed to have to google this... my 4 yr old has a nice collection I just found by her bed UG! I am going to go try this now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow funny, me too. Now we know we're not the only ones.
Deleteif this works, your fking amazing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alicia but knew I wouldn't be alone in this situation. I have a 7 yr old daughter and a 23 yr old son so have been there and done that..Am going to try it and if it works she will be cleaning the wall :) Gotta learn somehow!! :)
ReplyDelete*sigh* my husband laughed (to my amaze, I didn't think I would find anything) as I googled on how to rid boogers off the wall in my son, also Ethan's room (now eight but started since he was seven). Have new sheets/pillows/blankets, but all the "abstract art" on his beautiful light blue wall just so distracting....ok, completely disgusting! I tried scraping which scraped the paint off. I tried wiping with baby wipes, but that did nothing. This was my last resort! If this works, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and a million thanks to YOU! Ethan's mommy.
ReplyDeleteit works!!!! Ethan's mommy.
ReplyDeleteYay Ethan's Mommy! Glad to help :)
ReplyDeleteI have tried everything to get the boogers off my daughter's wall, except google it until today. I found this post...guess what it really works and after several hours of hunting them all down, her walls are now booger free and I hope they stay that way...Thank you so much for taking the time to post this, you saved me from pulling my hair out trying to remove the dried up boogers. Thanks again you are a life (wall) saver...
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd seen this before I used a steamer on flat paint. I have chunks out of the walls now.
ReplyDeleteYou are my life saver. now im gonna go die(: BYE(:
ReplyDeleteWe're college students and we moved into our dorm, soon to find out about all of the "decorations" that were coming along with our new room. We've tried everything with no luck, except for finding out that our walls are actually a few shades lighter. We're trying out your tips now!
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will make it a little less painful - I can tolerate cleaning my kid's boogers, but I'd be totally grossed out finding them in my new college room - ugh!
ReplyDeleteYipee! The paper's on the wall. Just glad all of our snot was sneezed! Strangely, I must admit to being curious about the velocity of that flying snot, as it went pretty high. Looking forward to painting! I feel sure this cleaning technique is a winner! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBRILLIANT! !!!! This WORKS!! Thx 2 the mom of 7!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! You are a GENIOUS!! Thank you so much! I can't believe this actually worked. I was still hesitant even after reading through all the comments, but decided I had no other better option, so I tried it. You should be famous for this little solution to a big problem! I can't thank you enough!
ReplyDeleteThx I just had to google this because i got into the "habit" when i was younger and now i'm older so i want to have friends over but i was embarrassed by my old habit plus now i will get to paint my wall!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I am laughing out loud about this one, you are awesome!!! I have three boys, so I've seen a booger or two on the walls myself, so gross, but you are hilarious to blog about it!
ReplyDeleteHola Hma. Hibbert. ¿Te recuerdas de mi? Hace mucho tiempo que saliamos juntos en Mesa. Estaba buscando como sacar "boogers" de mi sobrino y encontré tu página de web. ¡Qué manera de encontrarnos de nuevo! Estoy leyendo ahora tu blog para saber que ha pasado con tu vida. Te quiero mucho. Escríbame porfa.

So excited to start again on the other side of my wall and im relieved to know that i can easily relocate them if i need to! THANK YOU
This worked so fantastically lolololol
ReplyDeleteTrying this now. My 9 year old has a booger wall 😒 NINE! My goodness, that is old enough for the boy to know to get a tissue! We're about to buy our first home, closing date next Friday. I'm hoping putting this chore on him will make him think twice about doing it at the new house.

ReplyDeleteThank you, my little brother won't quit coming in my room and blowing snot rockets on my walls
ReplyDeleteAwesome, now I can wipe on the wall all I want and my wife wont get too mad at me.
ReplyDeleteYes, this helped a lot seeing that my 3 year old little brother loves putting boogers on the wall, even though there is tissue dispensers in every room... also, it worked!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Having guests sleep in my 4 yr old's bed tonight. Now they won't have to be grossed out, and I won't have to be mortified.
ReplyDeleteOmg! Ty! I was making ds bed the other day and found his booger collection....I asked him why he doesnt know....then I sent him up with lysol wipes and baby wipes....nothings worked yet so now he is trying this.....he is thoroughly grossed out at having to clean his own boogs off the wall but hopefully this deters him from starting a new collection.....
