Ah F*ck!

I got oil/grease/dirt (was changing over drivetrains) on my wall... then:

1. I shouted f*ck
   
2. I rubbed a bit
   
3. It got worse
   
4. GOTO 2
   
   

eek! I've not got any 'Fega but i've tried washin up liquid and vanish carpet spray...

Anyone got any ideas? Serious ones would be nice as I rent and I'm moving soon

double eek!

Paint + Paintbrush + tray + 10 minutes work = deposit back

paint the carpet?

ahh, skim reading ftl

Swarfega?

In future do your matinence/dirty bike stuff in a prepared area or some where that greese isn't a problem.

Have you tried red wine yet?

Citrus juice cuts through grease.

White spirit, paint thinners, meths ..

Any reason you can't paint the wall?

It's Rosé for bicycle oil.

i find white is most effective

(racist)

right so I've mixed up some Rosé with some paint thinner... the wall's no better off but I'm pretty sure I'm having a stroke. Send ambulance.

PS Dov. Would it work if I used a 7up?

nah its port for grease, white is for battery acid!

Put chewing gum on it and then freeze it with some ice cubes. It will lift right off.

Also, delete system 32.

No you silly boy it won't.

Seriarse though all degreasers contain citrus juice in some form or another. Try squeezing the clear juice from an orange and a lemon and washing the wall with it. £10 says it works.

move house

ha!
fucking 7up?
that is the most retarded thing i have ever heard.

Innit. Tab Clear, now that's a different story.

hang a picture over it

crystal meth

Vanish carpet stian remover is meant to be good

stain even

attack it with a rubber, as in the type you use to erase pencil. works great but can take some of the paint off if you rub to heard.

'It was there when I moved in' whilst waving large wrench about and doing your best chopper look..

You'll run into trouble if it's emulsion, as you'll re-emulsify and the paint will come off / mix with the grease. If it's vinyl, you should be ok with some of the serious suggestions... It's probably emulsion, though.

So why don't you paint over it, as suggested? I would guess it's "magnolia" - all landlords love the stuff.

PS I have the same problem with tyres when I lean bikes against walls.
