Walls – Accidentally splashed surgical alcohol on a plaster wall

cleaningstainwalls

So I was using surgical alcohol in my bathroom when I splashed some of it on the wall. Now I have a pale blue alcohol stain on it. The wall is a plaster wall covered with white paint.

Any ideas on how to remove that stain?

Alcohol acts like a paint remover. So rather than thinking of this as a stain on the surface that can be washed away you have to realize that the paint finish has been partially degraded.

This means you will have to repaint a small area of the wall. Often you will find that touching up does not blend very well so you may need to repaint the affected wall from corner to corner to get a good result
