Education/Credentials I learned how to hang wallpaper at the West Valley Occupational School in Van Nuys California in 1978.
Question I recently splattered a little oil-based paint on the wallpaper in the bathroom. It had dried before I noticed it. What is the best way to remove the paint splatters?
Answer Since it was oil based paint, there is really nothing I know of without possibly damaging the wallpaper.
Here is a few things I'd suggest to try:
Put a small amount of a household cleaner (409, etc) in an inconspicuous place (behind a door, etc). If it does not do any damage to the wallpaper, then use a Q-tip with a tiny bit of cleaner on the paint splatter. Don't rub too hard.
You could always try paint thinner on a Q-tip. But as I said, try first in an inconspicuous place to see if it does any damage to the paper.
Hope that helps....any other questions, just ask..
