Is there any substance in Chiang Mai I can buy that will remove dirty handprints from a wall? The walls are pink and light grey.

As far as I can remember although Im no diy expert, sugar soap was good for removing marks like this, can anyone offer some advice..?

in part, it will depend on if you have a flat finish or glossy finish. If it is a flat finish, sometimes it is just easier to touch up the spots, if the paint job is not too old and you have some of the original paint left.

Otherwise, around the house i went out and bought some simple green (imported and a bit costly)... it works.. used to use it in USA and still works here.... something like 8-10 USD a bottle, but around my house a bottle lasts a couple of months, and we use it for stained clothes in our laundry too.

Sadly most homes are painted in very cheep Emulsion paint. once prints are on there they hardly every can be fully cleaned. If this is your home, Try using a good quality paint applied properly. Yes expensive but will last, and is cleanable for years to come

Move the bed to the center of the room, after you solve the smudge problem.

...that's only part of the solution...most of the stains in my house are around lite switches and staircases....Get Rid Of The Kids(and kids alike)!!!...NOT...:lol:

...seriously,as mention above,good quality paint eggshell,or semi-gloss will do (gloss is ugly)...then soap and water will do to clean most of the stains..

Simple Green is the best. I used to buy it by the case for my electronics workshops both in the USA and Europe. Used it on everything, paint, glass, brass, steel, chrome, etc. Indeed very costly here.
