Removing essence oil burner stains from walls

[STI]

Sorry originaly posted in the wrong forum, a middle age moment
Hi, we have had one of those essence oil burners, the ones where you put a candle under a recepticle with nice smelling oils in. Unfortunately we discovered the oil spits and has now stained the matt emulsion painted walls. I have tried painting over the oil marks but they just reappear. I have tried washing the stains off with neat washing up liquid, hot water, kitchen cleaner sugar soap etc but the damn things just keep coming back. Is there any way to remove these marks so they can be painted over without re-appearing

And apologies to those who replied in the other forum, your advice is not being ignored i just want to see if when i put it in the correct forum any other ideas come up.


Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried to cover the stain with an oil based undercoat or maybe a thinned oil bases gloss. This usually covers the stain and then top coat with emulsion when dry
