Removing Spray Paint From Walls?

July 29, 2015

I live in Victoria, Australia. I had an old fridge in the kitchen and I decided to spray it purple. Little did I know that the spray from the can went on the wall. I now have a 12 inch long purple stripe on the white wall. Can anyone suggest something to take the purple off without ruining the white wall? I am a renter and really need this to be taken of.

Thanks.

I think it would be easier to repaint the wall. You might try something like Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser, but I suspect that anything that will remove the spray paint will also remove the paint on the wall.

Stupidly I thought all was protected when I used some spray paint inside. Little did I know that the overspray traveled that far. Is there a way of safely cleaning the overspray from the carpet and furniture (wood and fabric)? Thanks so much for any advice, besides never using spray paint indoors again!

Step 4 Wipe the olive oil from the fabric with a rag dampened with turpentine.

Step 5 Wash the fabric with dish-washing detergent.
