I've been told to use turps/ white spirit but haven't found it terribly succesful- has anyone got any better ideas please?

I think I may have once heard that lemon juice can help, as it reacts with the grease, or something. Worth a shot anyway: the lemon isn't going to damage the wall.

if you have got rid of the blobs of blue tack, then normally white spirit would get rid of the sort of mark that is left, if thats not working, then get some oil-base undercoat and dab it over the actual marks, wait till completely dry, then emulsion as normal.
This is a true and tested method by me.

Rub in some talc a couple of times to absorb the grease.

Spray with window cleaner, wipe with damp cloth. Done it - it works.
