Are there any tricks or tips for getting stains off water-based

washing-up I think, or possibly instant coffee! Apparently they are
all my fault and nothing to do with the wife's cooking!
I've tried water and a bit of washing up liquid (to remove them) but no
joy. Assume I cannot use anything too abrasive or vigorous.
Or should I just paint over the stains with more of the same paint?
(I believe it has to be water based emulsion as it's a newly built /
plastered surface.)
If it's greasy then bio washing powder dissolved in some warm water
works well. I wouldn't paint over it unless it is clean as the stain
may prevent the paint bonding to the wall.
