How can i clean walls that are painted w/water base paint w/out the paint coming off?
Question:Last time I tried cleaning my walls the paint came off so now i have a big yellow spot where the white should've been! Help please. My 2yr. old thinks he's an artist. ;~)

I use the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. It's very gentle, but cleans most anything. If your paint came off, you're either rubbing too hard or whoever painted the wall did not prep it properly and if that's the case, you need to scrape and repaint or it will continue to peel no matter what you clean it with.
Mild detergent and water with a sponge. May need better paint, good paint will stand up to cleaning.
I like to use just a little glass cleaner sprayed on a cloth. You'll still see a little paint on the cloth, but it shouldn't be enough to discolor your wall. I have 3 artists of my own, hope this helps.
The vet reccommended me to use bio washing powder, they told me that the smell is stronger than my dogs urine and he would not go there again. I have tried it and it has worked.
Wrong kind of paint for a kid's room. See if there's some paint left over from the last time the room was painted and repair the paint job, or, Let the 2 yo paint on the walls--they did that once on Home Makeover (except theirs was dry erase) and it was cute and cool. Do you think your 2yo can understand the difference of drawing in his bedroom and drawing in the kitchen?
