    so the husband was trying to cook and ended up getting hot oil splatters all over the wall beside the oven. Bloody wall looks destroyed and we only painted the kitchen a couple of months ago. The wall beside the oven is cream (I know probably not the best idea!).

    Any ideas how to remove from the walls without destroying the paint?

    If it's soft sheen, the oil should clean off with hot water and detergent. If matt, may not be so successful.

    Thanks, tried on of the magic sponges and didn't really work. Will find out tomorrow what type of paint and try the hot water and detergent.

    Try neat Fairy Liquid - the green one is great for greasy splashes on clothes so might do the job.

    Hey, get grease-fighting cleaner from market. Mix it in warm water and apply it on stained wall with the help of sponge. Good luck :)

    Only thing. Just be careful not to scratch the paint

    Just fyi, I had a similar problem to having oil splatters getting on my wall (plus steam getting under the adjoining cupboards which put the lighting hardware at risk) and came up with an elegant solution as I detailed here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057338685

    Get 2 tempered glass chopping boards, a pair of rust-proof cupboard latches to hold them up vertically (plus 4 small rubber feet you get in IKEA or similar to prevent bottom sliding out: http://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Bumper-Protect-Cushion-Surfaces/dp/B000JLD7LO).

    Voila, an elegant solution. Splash-proof plus easy to put up/take down in 30 seconds, and it actually looks like a nice permanent fixture in the kitchen. So far it's been working like a charm for me. The chopping boards sit adjoined to the cooker when I'm not cooking anything, and serve as... well.. chopping boards. :)

    This probably only works if you have a similar sort of fitted kitchen setup, although there's nothing stopping you from putting something on the walls behind the cooker to catch splatter if you don't have this sort of setup.
