How to remove Blu Tac from walls prior to painting?

[Boons]

Good morning

I have been asked to paint a couple of rooms that are in Magnolia and the kids have absolutely covered the four walls in Blu Tac! Whilst I was shown the walls I picked at a couple of bits but its been on so long it doesnt come off clean. I need to repaint in Magnolia again.

Any tips?

Thank you

use a big lump of blue tac and rub it over the blue tac on the wall.

you roll some fresh blu tak intpo a ball

press it against the stuff on the wall

pull the whole ball away and the old blu tak will stick to the new and be pulled away.

On a rough surface you may have to do it several times.
