Unsightly water stains will kill the vibes in . From shower humidity to internal leaks and ventilation problems, they have a lot of causes. But after you’ve identified what made the mark on your wall in the first place, you still need to remove it without making the aesthetic problem worse.
You might think this will mean painting the entire wall, but tere are some ways to get water stains off your walls without taking such drastic measures. Water stains won't appear on tile; they need a more absorbent surface, which is why they show up on bare walls. Since your walls are probably painted, this presents a problem: How can you wash a wall without damaging it and risk needing to repaint the entire room? Start gently and only increase the intensity of your cleaning methods if basic remedies don’t get the job done.
Kick it off with a simple solution of dish soap and warm water, at a ratio of about one to two. Use a cloth dipped in the mixture to apply the soapy water to your stain. Gently rub it in from the top down, then rinse with plain water and dry thoroughly with a hair dryer on a cool setting.
If that doesn’t work, fill a spray bottle with a mixture of vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda. Shake it up and spray it on the stain. Leave it for about an hour, then use a damp cloth to rub it away.
You may have to repeat this process a few times to get the stain all the way out, so do this when you have time for multiple hour-long soaking intervals. (128 ounces for $4.59) (.
