Klemen Bobnar Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 So, I've been doing my handstand challenges(surprisingly quite successfully too), but after it I noticed the marks my socks left on the wall. I'm sure this has happened to somebody before. How do you get it out? I don't want to paint the wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 But in all seriousness using an eraser might help: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf280277.tip.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBetter Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Here is your answer. http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Clean-Magic-Eraser-Original/dp/B0071SCSO0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420491489&sr=8-1&keywords=magic+eraser These things are....... magic. Just dont use to much force or you might take a little paint off the wall. Edited January 5, 2015 by BeBetter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christoph Pahl Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Had a similar problem, I destructured the nicely structured wall. So I switched to a closet instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundshaker Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've been doing handstands for a while, and for me, fresh white socks before handstand work never stain my wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Wadle Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Badge of honor...don't worry about the walls. Those whose walls are clean are slovenly couch potatoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpraktic Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I might have permanent solution for that, but it is not easy. It requires drilling into the wall. My wall is also dirty and it doesn't look nice. So... I was thinking to put narrow and long picture (maybe something in gymnastic style) on a wall where I do handstand and then to put plexiglas over it. Plexiglas will also eliminate friction when you do handstand pushups. It will look nice and you can clean plexiglas with water. What do you think?http://www.noordinaryhomestead.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/entryplexi.jpg Edited February 2, 2015 by mrpraktic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of painting something and getting a special type of finish that doesn't get dirty, but I'll have to look into this first. Right after my midterms, that is .

Blairbob Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Get a rag. Put liquid soap on rag. Wet rag by turning on faucet on sink. Rub rag against itself by holding it in both hands.Wipe wall clean. If desired, wipe wall with clean drag to dry. Repeat as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klemen Bobnar Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I've finally done it. I used gum eraser(the one for removing scuff marks from leather shoes) and it worked very well. Just a heads up for anyone out there, DON'T rub too hard, you'll rub the wall paint off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christoph Pahl Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 You could also simply use some self-adhesive foil. I'm doing that in my bathroom to protect some wall part against water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
