Default removal of oily blutack blobs prior to repainting

Hi all

We're about to delve into the kids bedrooms for a bit of an Easter freshen
up ~ the painted walls are covered with oily blobs from the blutack that
held their posters up ~ Any suggestions as to the best method to prep the
walls prior to repainting would be most appreciated..

Cheers & Happy Easter

MJ

A bit of rag saoked with a little cigarette lighter fluid will
degrease the spots.
