greasy fingermarks, five tiny ones and a palmprint, on embossed wallpaper
painted with vinyl matt. Washing with soapy water hasn't worked. the paint
is fading slightly where I've rubbed with the cloth. any ideas?

i've found an ordinary pencil rubber works as well on fingerprints.
(mostly). perhaps talcum powder or some other absorbant is required in this
case...

I love the Mr. Clean Magic eraser! It has worked on stains that bleach
hasn't been able to remove! But it is slightly abrasive. When I worked in
fast food, (a million years ago) the manuals on cleaning always said to wipe
grease with a dry towel first, before applying any solvent. I don't know if
that would be true with paint. When there are little ones around, I think
all walls need to be at least a satin finish!

Do the erasers work on old grease
