When chili oil is accidentally stained on the wall, we usually find it very difficult, because chili oil is difficult to remove, and it is also easy to leave residue or traces. However, here are some simple steps that can help you deal with this issue easily.
Step 1: Remove immediately
When chili oil is stained on the wall, the first task is to clean it immediately and try to prevent the oil from penetrating into the wall. Use a cloth or paper towel to wipe away the oil until the stain is completely wiped away. If the color or texture of the exposed wall changes, don't rub too hard to avoid further affecting the appearance of the wall.
Step 2: Mix the detergent
Use the mixed detergent to remove the remaining chili oil. Hybrid cleaners can be made by mixing some detergent and wine vinegar. Mix 1 part detergent and 3 parts wine vinegar, dampen a cotton ball with the mixture and gently rub the affected area until the oil stain is completely removed. However, please be careful not to use any cleaners containing bleach to avoid damaging the wall.
Step 3: Apply alcohol
If the mixed cleaner cannot remove the oil stains on the wall, you can choose to apply alcohol to help remove the remaining grease. Pour some rubbing alcohol into a bowl and use a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol to rub the affected area until the grease is completely removed. Then wash the wall with clean water and dry it. Please note that alcohol is only suitable for non-stained walls.
Step 4: Wipe with toothpaste
If there is still chili oil residue, try wiping with toothpaste. Squeeze a dab of toothpaste onto a cotton ball and rub the toothpaste over the affected area. Scrub the wall for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a clean towel. This method is very effective when cleaning white walls.
In short, when there is chili oil on the wall, don’t panic, just take action and you can easily eliminate it. Using the methods above, you can easily remove traces of chili oil and restore the look of your walls.
