We moved into our house at the end of April, so about ten months ago. When we moved in, I had clean walls. Now, on the wall going up the stairs, I have this…
Can you see that nice dark stripe of handprints up my wall? Heaven forbid they actually use the railing that is on the other side of the stairs (or, by chance, actually wash their hands). Honestly, I am kind of scared to try to clean the marks off because it is fairly matte paint on plaster walls. How do you clean plaster walls without leaving marks behind? Would the marks I inevitably leave behind because I am inept at cleaning look as bad as the handprints, or worse?
A new discovery in this area came over the weekend, about another three feet up the wall…
Hmmm… who do you think could have left that handprint? It must have been my husband the elves who leave dirty socks all over the house.

Have you tried Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? Try it on a small spot & see how the paint looks first, but I LOVE that thing! It gets my “boy prints” off tons of things in my house! Something that my friend usues is just a sponge & some Dawn…she has 1 girl, though…I don’t think they’re as dirty as boys (most of the time LOL)
