Answer 1

Try Mangers sugar soap, that should do the trick,as any decorator should have told you ,I used it in prep before decorating and it worked for me.or hand hot water and lemon juice works too.

Answer 2

what ever you do don't do what anyone above has said,no offence but i'm a painter and decorator and all these things will make it worse,it sounds like your wall has been emulsioned in which case i'm sorry but you will have to touch up the area which has been covered in greese,use a small roller to cover the stain,you won't have to do the hole wall unless it has'nt been painter for a good while,before hand u might need to get white oilbased undercoat to cover the stain,it takes 3 - 4 hours to dry then u can paint over,hope this helps good luck

Answer 3

Before you go to the great expense of repainting why don't you try some good old windex. It has alcohol in it that would evaporate anyway and should not leave a stain. If it doesn't work you can always paint.
