Cleaning Tips
and Hints

Children often leave their fingerprints on walls, creating unsightly marks. An easy and unexpected way to remove these fingerprints is by using a slice of white bread. Follow these steps to make those fingerprints disappear:

Materials Needed:

• Slice of white bread
• Soft cloth (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread: Take a fresh slice of white bread. It should be soft and moist, as stale bread won’t work as effectively.
2. Press the Bread: Gently press the slice of bread onto the fingerprints on the wall. Use a firm but gentle pressing motion to lift the marks without damaging the paint or wallpaper.
3. Move and Repeat: Move to a clean section of the bread as it picks up the fingerprints. Continue pressing the bread onto the marks until they are completely removed.
4. Clean the Area: If any crumbs remain on the wall, use a soft cloth to gently wipe them away.

Additional Tips:

• Gentle Pressure: Use gentle pressure to avoid rubbing off the wall paint or wallpaper.
• Test First: Test the bread method on a small, inconspicuous area of the wall to ensure it doesn’t cause any damage.
• Alternative Methods: For stubborn fingerprints, you can use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. However, avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the wall surface.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove fingerprints from your walls using a simple slice of white bread, keeping your walls clean and mark-free.
