Painting over crayon and chalk?

Home More advice Home & Garden

Is there a way you can paint over crayon and chalk on a wall? If not, how can you remove them?

I want to paint my walls, but they are covered in crayon and chalk that has been there for years. The chalk does not seem to come out of the wall easily, and the crayon is so old that you literally have to scrub for 5 minutes for any improvement.
