However, before resorting to painting , why not try removing the stains with some simple home remedies?
Gum made with bread, vinegar or baking soda
Here are some good remedies to remove black halos from walls:
- Bread Eraser : To clean blemishes and “whiskers” from walls, modern families still use a tip passed down from grandmothers, namely the ancient technique of bread eraser. To remedy the affected area of the wall, the procedure involves moistening stale bread with a solution of water and bicarbonate of soda. Once ready, gently rub the damp bar all over the affected area for best results. Next, wipe the affected area with a cloth and let it air dry. After a while, the stain will disappear or at least fade. Note that using stale bread is essential to avoid the crumb from crumbling quickly.
• Vinegar : This is a common household product that can work wonders for removing black marks on walls, as well as mold, limescale and encrusted dirt. In fact, it is an inexpensive and easy-to-use solution that can help remove unsightly blemishes . So, anyone looking to eliminate black marks on the wall must try vinegar. Dampen a microfiber cloth, wring out the excess water, then add a few drops of vinegar . Use it to gently clean the entire wall. Wait for it to dry and if the halo persists, repeat the operation. The stains will soon be a distant memory. - Baking soda : This is a must-have for removing light black stains that stand out on white walls. Treat your wall to a powerful combination of its whitening properties and gentle abrasive action. Create a gel-like substance by mixing a tablespoon of baking soda with a few drops of water. Coat a soft sponge with the mixture and apply it to the blemish.
