How to Get Mayonnaise Off Walls

A splatter of mayonnaise can land on any surrounding surface, including your wall. Although it's not difficult to remove a mayonnaise stain on the wall, it's important to remove it promptly. When mayonnaise is left to sit on the wall surface, it leaves a greasy residue with an unpleasant smell. You can clean mayonnaise off the wall but must do so carefully to avoid damaging paint or any other finish.
