I need something to protect wall behind stove
+8
We just moved into a rental, the walls are so nice and clean. I do not want grease, etc to pop and mess it up. What can I easily do (that would be removable) to the wall to prevent that. I have arthritis and cannot do much hard scrubbing any longer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ruth Prescott

With a staple gun,you could attach some oil cloth to the wall behind the stove. To help get the cloth straight,you can hang it with some tape, then remove the tape as you staple or pushpin along the edges.There are also decorative pushpins, prob at a stationery store or you could then fabric glue ribbon over the staples. Use painter's 'blue' tape,it's removable, to hold the ribbon straight while the fabric glue dries.
Look in the heating section of your local Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a roll of "flashing" you can use screws, brads, staples or "upholstery" nails to attach it to the wall... then remove it and a little patching would fix the small holes (especially if you use tacks or staples) It will cut with a pair of utility shears.
there are some great stick on tiles at the Home Depot.
Thank you!!!
They do come in metallic and other finishes. If you don’t want it to be permanent you could get a thin sheet of MDF board hang that on the wall them decorate with tiles Or paint.
