Please Help - Splattered Oil Stain on Newly Painted Walls :(

9 years ago

I just posted this appeal for help in "Kitchens" and realized this is probably the more appropriate forum.

We just had our kitchen painted two weeks ago. I forgot to ask
the painters what sheen they would use in the kitchen but I actually
think it is eggshell because it is the same colour that I used in the
hallway, which is definitely eggshell (and they probably didn't even
think of changing up the sheen).

The stove butts up against a painted wall (it's a small galley
kitchen - no where else to put the stove...). Well, my husband fried up
some tofu last night and I just noticed oil stains all over the wall.
Is there any hope to remove the oil stains without mucking up the finish
of the paint? Or am I going to have to repaint...in a glossier
sheen...??

Thanks for any advice!
