greasy fingermarks, five tiny ones and a palmprint, on embossed wallpaper painted with vinyl matt. Washing with soapy water hasn't worked. the paint is fading slightly where I've rubbed with the cloth. any ideas?

i've found an ordinary pencil rubber works as well on fingerprints. (mostly). perhaps talcum powder or some other absorbant is required in this case... kylie
I love the Mr. Clean Magic eraser! It has worked on stains that bleach hasn't been able to remove! But it is slightly abrasive. When I worked in fast food, (a million years ago) the manuals on cleaning always said to wipe grease with a dry towel first, before applying any solvent. I don't know if that would be true with paint. When there are little ones around, I think all walls need to be at least a satin finish!
an unexpected visitor. I'm still working on the grease
