We are renting a apartment and when we moved in we didnt notice the runs from someone spraying deodorant on our bathroom wall, if there is any hometalker out there that knows how to clean it, i would greatly appreciate any tips you could give me? Thank-You! icon

One cup of vinegar to one gallon hot water and a few squirts of Dawn dish soap. Use a sponge or soft cloth to wipe. Rinse often. Deodorant tends to be greasy.

  Thanks for the tip William, and it does seem to get greasy, and it changes the wall color when it runs down the wall because it left runs all down my bathroom wall. YUCK

May have to clean the walls with alcohol . Then use oils and repaint .

  We rent and the landlords won't let us repaint because we would be altering the apartment?

  What is Mean Primer? I've never heard of that before? Can it be used on walls even if we rent the house?

Read above post . I kept typing the product name and autocorrect kept replacing it. So what I meant was to use a primer product then to repaint.

  The landlord can't say anything if you use the same colour paint. I don't know in America, but here in France you can paint your walls in red if you want, but if you leave the appartement or house, you have to restore everything as it was when you came in. It depends what's in your renting contract.

  Well you are absolutely right about painting the apartment because other people that live in our apartment complex paints there apartments because they get tired of looking at White walls, because it seems like every apartment you rent is always WHITE! I hate the color white? I just wish i knew how to paint. Please Reply back ASAP! Thank-You!

Have you hung pictures ,etc . Then you have already altered their property . My advice is to talk to whoever is in charge.
