Remove stains on faux plaster walls
1 of 1Removing an oil stain
Mix dishwashing detergent with water and lightly sponge the oil spot.
When oil splashes onto your kitchen walls, you may be left with a stubborn stain. I had the same problem with
the faux plaster finish in my
kitchen. While frying potatoes, I
splattered some oil onto the walls
and it left stains. To remove them,
mix a mild dishwashing detergent,
like Dawn, with warm water and
apply it to the stains with a sponge
or rag as shown. The detergent contains
a grease cutter that should
remove the stains.
If the stain has been on the wall
for several months or longer and
won't come off with detergent,
brush a primer over the stains. Then
apply a fresh coat of plaster over the
primer, wait for it to dry, and add
the topcoat.
In the future, if oil splashes on the
walls, use this fix immediately. The
sooner you clean, the better the
results.
