As we know, lemon is a natural ingredient that, being citrus, is capable of lightening grease and oil stains on kitchen walls, especially. Just by squeezing a lemon and applying a piece of soaked juice to the stained wall, leaving it for a few minutes, rubbing gently, it will leave it whitened.

Flour:

We generally use this ingredient to absorb oil that splashes on our clothes, just as we often use talcum powder. The same thing happens when oil splashes on walls. Let’s try and apply it by sprinkling flour with our hands and without rubbing. We leave it for about 30 minutes and as soon as the flour is impregnated with the oil, we remove it with a brush and clean it with a clean, dry cloth. We will see that the stain will disappear.
