What's the best way to get dirt/scuff marks off of a painted wall?

Question

I tried using the "magic erasers" and all though they work well in the kitchen, I found they weren't all that great on walls. It just seemed to push the dirt around, and therefore making a bigger mess. I am moving out and I don't want to leave the walls looking like c**p. Any suggestions on what works best? Thanks!!

Answer 1

Oh dangit . . . I was going to say Mr. Clean Magic Erasers LOL. Those work on everything for me.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I've always used ammonia and water to clean my walls. It works really well. Otherwise, try 409 or something similar.

Answer 4

Warm water, dish soap and a rag. Add a little elbow grease and you should be good to go.

Answer 5

paint over then with the same colour as the walls

Answer 6

if the magic eraser moved the dirt around then it seems that the marks are not just loose debris, try soap and water to remove the residue.

Answer 7

Answer 8
