How do i get grease/oil spots off walls?


Question:i have sugar sopaed three times, tried painting over the spots that are left with kitchen paint, and they wont be covered. What can i do to get rid of them? will i have to somehow seal the wall first before painting?

Answers:
Try Dawn Heavy Duty Degreaser (it's commercial quality). Most stores are carrying it now, and it works really great! :) Good Luck!


I would suggest using a stain primer before you paint. Kilz is one brand but most home centers have a brand. It basically works by sealing the wall. I have covered a multitude of household messes with the primer and the paint goes on like a dream after.

IF sugar soap doesn't work use a stain block. Avoid b&q but go to a paint shop professional painters use.
How about Swarfega? My grandad always uses it when there's something icky and greasy that won't go away...
