It's no secret that removing blue tack or stickers can be a nightmare, risking damage to the paint beneath. But fear not, experts assure that with the proper tools and prep, you can banish those blemishes without harming your walls. Store-bought cleaning sprays might be a go-to for many, but they can be harsh and potentially harmful if misused.
