It's made to get car grease off your hands. I've removed tar with this stuff.

As some of you may remember (but probably don't), I had to move two years ago. This is the first new house I've ever lived in, and it has those fancy super-vulnerable indoor walls (the kind you can't drive a nail into).
Yesterday I was attempting to hang a picture. Unfortunately the picture was too heavy for the hook and it pulled it off the wall and dropped to the floor. I instinctively flung out my arms and found later that I had inadventently brushed against the wall with an arm that was coated with salve (for a psoriasis). The wall was smudged very badly.
I wore out two Mr. Clean Dry Erases and accomplished very little other than to spread the greasy salve around. I am afraid to try just anything for fear of taking the paint off the wall. So the stain is still there, and my guilt is tremendous.
Does anyone here know of any product that will safely remove such an agent from a very soft, painted indoor wall? Rubbing alcohol perhaps? Formula 409? Clorox Wipes?
These walls are unbelievably "touchous." They are easily punctured and it's almost impossible to touch them without damaging or dirtying them in some way. It would seem that someone would have created a product to deal with this type of thing, but I have no idea what it is.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please keep in mind that I don't want to do anything that might make the problem worse, such as removing the paint.
Try hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol- spray or wipe on and let air dry.
Mix up some potassium nitrate, sulpher, and charcoal.
i hate it when i am afraid in my own house and no one is gonna kill ya just throw on a dgown and pound yer head against the infected area while yelling out some shakespeare
Come to think of it, you might try hydrogen peroxide on your psoriasis, too. I had some sort of fungal infection that affected the tips of my fingers causing the skin to harden, crack and bleed to the point where it could be painful to even button my shirt. I tried every imaginable salve and ointment over several months. Hydrogen peroxide, applied a couple of times a day for about a week cleared it up and it has never been back.
I hear the American Idol thread calling your name.

Simple Green, but if the grease has soaked into the wallboard try spraying the spot with Kilz (a stain cover up for painted surfaces...buy at any paint store)and then repaint the wall.
How's Monday for you? I'm booked solid until then. ;)

thats high and mighty i was just thinking out damn spot
It's just my way. I should have been royalty. A spot on the wall deserves an air strike, at least.

BY the gallon at Home Depot. Cleans kitchens like no other. Guns, too!
Lestoil. Gets grease out/off of everything.
Get some real TSP, or automatic dish washer detergent that contains phosphorus.
Do not use cleaners that contain kerosene or napthalene indoors.
Whoops! What about the carburator cleaner that the carb is soaking in, in the bathroom sink? I figured if I just didn't ash in the sink, everything would be ok.

You’re going to do a Bang-up job I’m sure!
Servepro like it never happened!

And, also on another BBC show, “Food Hospital” IIRC, they said take fish oil for psoriasis

I tried that. It made a very minor case of psoriasis into a terrible flare that for the first time in 65 years even affected my fingernails. It took over a month of total abstinence from the fish oil for the flare to resolve.
Anyone contemplating fish oil for psoriasis, be very careful.
