Dirty finger marks on wallpaper around light switch !

[castleman]

Would anyone know the best way to tackle this, can i in some way match/blend some spare wallpaper (patterned) without it looking a mess. Can you still buy those plastic finger guards that fit around the light switch ? or has someone made a diy guard ? the marks are approx 2" out from the switch !!......thanks....

Rub the dirty marks with dry white bread.

This is not a joke.

Yes you can. They are sold in downmarket hardware shops that sell cheap stuff.

Thanks john,
Think it's past trying to remove these marks, w/paper nearly rubbed out with constant cleaning etc. Think i will tile around switch using some mosaic tiles, already used in this room !
