I'm sure that man years ago I (and my father-in-law) used to use Sugar Soap

I have bought some recently, and it doesn't mention paint stripping on the
label and it definitely isn't up to the job.

Do I have to get a recognised paint stripper these days.

its a soap, not a stripper

I've just realised he might be right. Sugar soap, like any other soap
or detergent, is an effective stripper and cleaner for distemper
finished walls, and distemper was once common.

Washing up liquid is much cheaper, and more importantly, ready to hand.
