Remove Wall Stains Without Stripping Paint

Mix 1–2 tsp mild dish soap with 2 cups of warm water.

For stubborn stains, you can add 1 tsp white vinegar.

Test a Small Area:
Before cleaning the entire stain, dab the solution on an inconspicuous spot to ensure the paint doesn’t fade or peel.

Gently Clean the Stain:

Dampen a soft sponge or cloth with the solution.

Gently blot or rub the stained area in a circular motion. Avoid scrubbing aggressively, which can remove paint.

Use Baking Soda for Tough Stains:

Make a paste with baking soda + water.

Apply gently on the stain, wait 1–2 minutes, then wipe with a damp cloth.

Rinse & Dry:

Wipe the wall with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.

Dry immediately with a towel to prevent water spots or streaks.

✅ Tips for Success:

Always use gentle motions; strong scrubbing can damage paint.

Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia on painted walls.

For glossy or semi-gloss walls, you can usually clean a bit more vigorously than on flat or matte finishes.
