white tack residue

[smileyk8]

Hey everyone.

I'm moving out of rented house at uni next month with the strictest landlord in the world. I've just taken down all my photos off the wall that were up with white tack (supposedly non-marking) and there are dark stains left behind.

Does anyone have any tips on how to remove them? If not i'll try to match the paint and redo the walls. It looks like my walls have chicken pox!!!

Will a mild detergent mix remove the marks if you dab carefully at them.

Don't know if they will work ~ but try baby wet wipes, they are really good at removing stains (even removed beetroot from a cream blouse once), be careful not to buy any that have baby oil/lotion on them as this could stain more! hope this helps
