Wallpaper - Removing Spots and Stain:
Fingermarks, smudges, pencil marks:
Rub gently with art gum or commercial wallpaper
cleaner. On washable paper, wipe with damp sponge, or
sudsy sponge and then damp sponge if needed to remove
mark.
Grease Spots:
1. Hold clean white blotter or several white paper
towels over spot and press with warm iron until grease is
absorbed by towels.
2. If grease still remains, apply a paste spot remover;
brush off after it dries to a powder.
3. If washable paper--may be able to wipe off with sudsy
sponge, followed by damp sponge.
Crayon: (You have to remove both wax/grease and color.)
1. If thick amount left, scrape off excess with table
knife.
2. Use warm iron and white paper towel method as under
"grease spots".
3. For non-washable papers, try paste spot remover as
under "grease spots". Or wipe gently with a cloth
moistened with denatured alcohol or spot remover; these
are flammable and vapors are toxic, so be sure there is
no flame, spark, or pilot light in area, have plenty of
ventilation, and use only on small spots.
4. For washable papers, use sudsy sponge after steps 1
and 2. Try not to smear the residue. ***Buy washable
crayons for children!
