Savvy Household Tip: Remove Wall Streaks With Ease

Have you ever accidently grazed the paint on your wall leaving behind a dark streak? I do it all the time. Recently I moved a wood box and it slid against my wall leaving a very dark and sinister looking black streak! These do not wipe off with water or cleanser.

Here is a tip: take a disinfecting wipe and dab about a 1/2 teaspoon of nail polish remover with acetone. Use the wipe to remove the surface streak. The mark will disappear. You can also use a plain damp paper towel and a 1/2 teaspoon of nail polish remover with acetone for the same effect. The nail polish remover is strong enough to just to remove the streak and not the paint on your wall.

Bonus Retail Secrets for Savvy Consumers tip: If you have surface paint transfer on your car from grazing another car, garage, or other inanimate object you can do this same trick to remove the surface paint transfer. It wont remove any deep damage but if it is just a little paint transfer, this tip will do the trick.
