It’s a bit of a haunting for all families: a clean and neat wall that becomes, as the days go by, a real involuntary fresco. Handprints, food splashes, children’s artistic scribbles… These brands seem to invite themselves without warning. But do you really have to take out the brushes and repaint everything? Not so fast! There are very effective tips to restore your walls to their former glory, effortlessly and without a big budget.
Baking soda: the magic ally of stained walls
Baking soda is a bit like the Swiss Army knife of the household in French homes. In our case, it turns into a magic eraser for walls. Mix a spoonful with a little warm water until you have a creamy paste, like cream cheese spread.
Apply this preparation directly to the stain using a soft cloth or sponge, then rub gently. Within seconds, the stain begins to fade. Then wipe with a clean, dry cloth. The result: a clean wall, without a drop of damaged paint.
Toothpaste: not just for teeth!
It may seem surprising, but white toothpaste (avoid gel or coloured toothpaste) is an excellent stain remover for marks on walls, especially markings from markers or pencils.
Take an old toothbrush (clean, of course), put a dab of toothpaste in it and gently scrub the stained area. Toothpaste acts a bit like a soft abrasive gum. Once the stain is gone, wipe with a damp cloth to remove the residue. A simple and very practical tip!
