In each home with children of pre-school age there are candlesticks, so that young artists can learn them and practice their skills in painting. In addition to the paintings, however, children are so excited about the colors they may try to paint on the walls of the house. And the permanent “painhead” for each parent is how to clean the dirty spots. You do not need to worry, however, as there is a practical solution to remove the candlestick from the wall within minutes. All you have to do is make a paste of water and baking soda. This mixture of specific material, used in pastry, is a natural cleansing solution considered safe for most walls and doors. How to make the paste Using a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 teaspoon, water. For larger surfaces, mix 2 – 3 tablespoons of baking soda with 2 – 3 teaspoons, water. The paste must be dry and smooth in its texture, so check the ratio. Dip a cloth in water and paste Dip a soft and white cloth in hot water. After twisting it, wrap the cloth around the index finger of your hand. Then sink your finger into the paste. This way, you will focus better on the stain and not on the entire surface of the wall. Overwater can have the opposite effect, so you have to limit its amount. Spread the paste on the wall With your finger covered with the cloth, rub the paste carefully only above the marks left by the candlestick. Using another, clean and fresh, cloth, wipe this spot well. If the signs do not leave the first time, you can repeat the process. Rinse with clean cloth Once you remove the drawings from the candlesticks, use another clean cloth to wipe the surrounding area from top to bottom and from left to right, so as to make sure no spots are created during cleaning. There’s an alternative. If your wall still has wax paint marks, there is an alternative with toothpaste. However, try better white paste and not green or blue gel, since colored toothpaste can further stain your walls. The procedure you will follow is similar to the baking soda paste. What should not use Cleaners spray: Cleaning sprays may cause a bigger problem, as the wax and pigment from the wax paint are going to drip, spreading the stain. Chlorine: Chlorine is so strong that it can remove the color of the wall. Colour corrosive: The same applies to the corrosive paint, as all you want is to remove the wax paint, not the color of the wall.
So you will remove the children’s candlestick from the wall within minutes
