    If u have any ideas, let me know...
    Regards,
    Madhumidha

    Put the varnish on the stains where it have to be, then rub to this smoothly. The stain will be disappointing

    Hi all...

    I am back to share the thing i did to clean the dirt(trials)...

    I believe most of you would have heard about SOAP OIL...it is something that is used for cleaning tough dirt(mainly on the floor)...its like if you add 1 part of soap oil,you ll have to add 4-5 parts of water....

    few weeks back,i bought an ink rubber and tried to erase the pencil/pen stains but it was really a time consuming one..so i droped it..it did erase the pencil stains but took lot of time...

    and then last weekend,i found some time and tried to wipe the dirt(crayons,pencils,pen,oil) on the walls and doors....my walls are actually not 100% painted,more of whitewashed walls...i wanted to try cleaning the dirt with vanish/bleach but both were not available at home :spin...so i thought of trying this soap oil...

    took a small sponge and also a paint brush-not too thick,a medium/small one(for the areas where the sponge cant enter)...dipped them in soap oil+water combination and used it against the dirt...and believe me,i had to wipe really hard over the pen/pencil stains...it did go but also took a layer of whitewashing :bonk...but the stains did go...
    again using the sponge i gave a try over the small areas where oil+dirt had got accumulated...again a layer of whitewashing came out but the place looks much better/cleaner than before...:banana...
    i tried the soap oil solution over the doors(they are painted) where my daughter had kept her hands after eating chocolate and kajal..also over the small designs/passage/gaps (where dirt gets accumulated) and the doors became very clean...
    100% i wouldnt say the dirt is gone but the walls/doors look very much better...maybe i need to try these for another 2-3 times...

    so this is my experience now....
    will try with vanish/some bleach next time and post my feedback...


    after wiping the area with soap oil,you ll have to wipe the area with a wet cloth/sponge or even a cloth...to wipe off the soap oil solution...

    hope its useful :thumbsup
