Getting stains on your walls is inevitable, no matter how careful you are. Sometimes the stain is definitely because of a hand mark. However, sometimes the marks remain a mystery. Regardless of how the stains originated, wall marks and stains can be bad news, especially if you are a renter whose landlord is coming over for an inspection soon.:

Whether you own or rent, the following steps can help you get rid of those stubborn marks and stains on your home walls:

Tip 1: Remove wall stains with soap and water

Before breaking out any heavy duty cleansers, you want to start with the simplest method. All you need is some warm water, a few drops of dishwashing liquid and a clean microfiber cloth. Rub the stain with this solution until you can’t see it anymore. Wait until the wall has completely dried down to ensure the stain has truly gone.

Tip 2: Act quickly

The secret to effectively removing stains is to act quickly. Crayon, pencil and ink stains can be removed quickly using cleaning wipes or baby wipes, if you have one handy. Pencil marks can be removed with rubber erasers or art gum erasers. For oil-based materials such as ballpoint ink, foaming shaving cream can work well.

Tip 3: Use a washable paint

Duh! If you’re worried about stains and marks on the walls, just use washable paint. A godsend for new parents, washable paints have a glassy sheen and high plasticity. In simpler terms, it does not allow stain pigments to penetrate the walls deeply. Washable paints are a great choice for kids’ room as the tiny tots are likely to get the walls dirty. You can also use them in the kitchen where there are chances of spills, stains and splashes. Berger Easy Clean Fresh gives a luxurious finish backed up by Cross-Linking Polymers which ensure that even the most stubborn stain can be cleaned easily from the walls. Easy Clean washable paint also abates unpleasant odour from within the house, ensuring your home does not only look fresh but smell fresh too!
