Cleaning walls

[thecherryontop]

We stupidly used a paint from Next for our kitchen and dining room rather than a washable paint and now I can see every mark... what should I be cleaning it with? -so far I've tried cleaning wipes and Elbow Grease. I can see the wipe marks as well... please help!

You could try a magic eraser.

sugar soap

Well last weekend we invited friends round for tea, after we'd scrubbed the oven and my attention turned to the emulsion walls...sod it, I decided to try bleach. Just filled the washing up bowl with hot water and bleach, then using an old tea towel I just kept soaking, wringing and wiping the walls...unbelievable!! came up amazingly clean. The paint was either crown or dulux from B&Q

Sugar soap, it removes grease stains. You can use a flathead mop to do large sections if you have large sections of wall. If you do it by hand wear gloves.

Thanks -will give it a go. Was just worried about the sugar soap taking the colour off and then being all patchy.
