"Wall or flooring.
Whitening toothpaste, hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, plus a hand towel
Try toothpaste first, as it will be most gentle on your surfaces. Apply directly onto your hand towel and gently rub stain in a circular motion. If this is not working, turn to the hand sanitizer and do the same. The hand sanitizer works on most surfaces, but if it does not, lightly spray with rubbing alcohol and dab out the stain.
If you used toothpaste, your wall or floor may be left with a bit of a film -- just wipe it clean with a warm cloth. If you used hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol, you should not see any remnants of either, but it wouldn't hurt to run a warm cloth over the area."
I will try that - and let you know - shouldnt matter its been there a while
Tpau has good tips. I don't know what's in hairspray but it seems to work to, wait, I found the ingredients on amazon Its gotta be one of them:
I think it comes unscented.Ingredients
Alcohol Denat., Hydrofluorocarbon 152A, Octylacrylamide/Acrylates/Butylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer, VA/Crotonates/Vinyl Neodecanoate Copolymer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Dimethyl Stearamine, Propylene Glycol, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Fragrance (Parfum), Isopropyl Myristate, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Water (Aqua, Eau), Panthenol, Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Limonene.
There is a couple of primers / stain blockers that I've used that work well; Kilz and Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 in looking around it seems you'll have an easier time finding the Zinsser in the UK.
Hi tpau. I did what you suggested and its worked cant thank you enough saved a load of head scratching
Which one worked, the Whitening toothpaste, the hand sanitizer or the rubbing alcohol?.
The hand sanitizer, took a good ole rubbong on the wall but now all you can see is the colour
Again thanks
