My employee opened something with beetroot in our shop. I need to remove the stains. Unfortunately it has now dried.

Any ideas on best way to remove it and save the beautiful (and expensive) wallpaper we have?

I guess a damp cloth won’t be enough (now)?

Probably repaint the wall.

For the white part it’s an option, but I’m not sure we can get that wallpaper again…

carpet stain remover on a cloth? Or some vanish powder disolved in water on a cloth - make sure you rinse it afterwards though or it might remove the blue colour as well

OP, You are Ralph Jolly, aren't you?



Borrow some Fairy Liquid.

Bleach solution for the wallpaper, it won't remove completely but it'll help.
Bleach will take it out of anything, but maybe not before it damages the original surface, just start weak and build up as far as you are comfortable with.

Repaint the white.

I had a full kitchen to fix when the valve blew off the pressure cooker my wife was cooking up a batch of beetroot in. Every surface including the wife was sprayed a lovely shade of pink.

Love the patterns it has made on that white dress, almost looks like little pink horses. wink

Seriously, try Pink Stuff. It's a paste in a tub that you apply with a sponge

But on the wallpaper, test a small inconspicuous area first.

Magic sponge eraser pads. Seem to work on most marks without damaging paint.

Buy more beetroot juice and flick it over the rest of the blue?
