How Can I Get Aquaphor off the Wall!

I put Aquaphor on my son after his bath and he then put his hands on the wall, leaving greasy prints. Is there any way to clean the wall?

So What Happened?™

Thanks for all the advice. I smoothed a VERY small amount of Dawn over the stained areas and then rinsed a couple times with a damp sponge. It worked perfectly! Thanks again -- I wouldn't have thought of it myself.

Liz B. said that a child got major rashes from the Magic Eraser. That story was a hoax. snopes.com tells what is real and what is false. It is a great site to clarify internet stories.

glad the D. soap worked.

Magic Eraser is great... it really is magic. Not sure if it works on grease, but it works great on just about every other stain!

I also just read something in the newspaper recently about how most stains in furniture, etc., are really responsive to just plain dish soap. (the kind you keep next to your sink). Maybe that'll work!

To remove an oily stain from the walls, make a paste out of cornstarch and water and apply to area. Let dry at least two hours or so and then brush off the mess. The paste soaks up the grease or oil! Nice and easy!

I have tried the Magic Eraser on other things and LOVE it also! Especially my hubbys lunch box which gets filthy! I also use it on my daughters toys and our floors! Not sure how well it would work on oil/grease though. I know I used it when the ham I was cooking in a crock pot dropped back in the pot and splattered on my wall and the eraser actually removed some of the wall paper and the stain is still there:( If you are going to use that make sure you test it in a spot that is not noticable- behind the couch, in a closet etc since it may also remove some paints.

Good luck and let us know what you found that does work so we will not be posting it next month! lol

Many blessings to you and yours!

I love Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. However, on a wall, you may have to wash it, after, with spic and span or a light cleaner because it can show streaks on walls. (But will also erase crayon marks, scuff marks, from anywhere!) Good luck!

I'd scrub with Dawn dish liquid - that stuff is amazing on grease. It got lipstick out of my carpet!
