Cleaning sick off of a wall

Walls in my DDs bedroom were freshly painted pink recently. She was sick last night and it has stained them. I've tried washing up liquid and white vinegar, both diluted in water and applied with a cloth, but no joy. Any tips or is it a lost cause and a case of putting cushions over it until we decorate again?!

Sugar soap? If that doesn’t work it’s a redecoration job.

Try those flash erasers. I’ve not used them with sick but they have been pretty good with everything else.

Get silk paint next time. Maybe redo that wall in a toning colour?

Good idea. I think I have some left! Will try.

Ah yes. I'll get one of those if the sugar soap doesn't work. Thank you.

I’d second magic erasers. If that fails have you considered chalkboard paint? My dc love it.

But beware...don't rub too hard! I used one to try to get felt tip pen off the wall, rubbed too hard and the paint also came off!!
