What is the best thing to use to get grease off painted walls? We are moving out soon and I want to try to get some of the grease off of the wall by the stove. Thanks.

You can try magic eraser, and I have heard simple green is good too. If all else fails, couldn't you paint over it?

Default The best thing is Dupont 3919

If you want the absolute best there is something called Dupont 3919 Prep-Sol, it is the solution used before painting cars, like in the auto repair business. Totally sucks up any grease, wax, tar, adhesives, etc anything with hydrocarbons in it. Can get it at the supply stores that sell mixed paints to paint your car.

If not that, lot of the foam cleaners work very well. Ones like Big Wally
