Does anyone else have a problem where they remove a Bluetacked item from a wall after sometime and it leaves a mark on the wall? Does anybody know how to get rid of this because at the moment my room looks like it's breaking out in with some kind of disease.

A diluted solution of chlorine bleach might do the trick. (Provided your walls are white, of course!)

I've tried this, but doesn't seem so be working sadly...

Row, you silly sausage, you mean you didn't have a look at Blutack.com?

Q How do I remove faint stains from the walls?

A Citrus based stain remover is the best.*

If the walls have been painted sometime ago, they can become porous which will suck the oil out of Blu Tack. In this instance, you will need to clean with Sugar Soap and generally repaint the surface.

* I bought "Goo Gone" in the US, which smells just like pressed oranges. Its a fantastic stain and sticky stuff remover.

Ooh, will try that. Hopefully I can avoid repainting. And I'm in America in a few weeks will so defo pick up some Goo Gone. Could've done with that last night.

#Washing Machines Last Longer With Cal-Gone# ...oh wait. Goo Gone, that sounds so familiar, but I have no idea why.
