- Soft cloth or sponge
- Bucket
- White vinegar
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Mix a solution of one teaspoon dish soap and one pint warm water in the bucket.
- Dip the soft cloth or sponge into the soapy solution and wipe away excess sauce. Try not to rub hard on affected area to avoid damaging the wallpaper.
- If stain persists, mix one cup of white vinegar with one cup of warm water in the bucket.
- Dip a clean cloth into the vinegar solution, wring out, and wipe the stain--again, rubbing gently. This should effectively loosen the stain.
- Let the area air dry.
Additional Tips:
- Start by wiping away excess sauce from the wall and then proceed to the cleaning steps.

- Once you’ve cleaned the stain, use a fan or hair dryer on the lowest setting to dry the wallpaper if necessary.
- If the stain is still present after trying the above steps, contact a professional cleaner or wallpaper specialist.
