Looking for old fashioned wall paper cleaner?

Question

I am looking for the play dough type wall paper cleaner my Mother use to use to clean wall paper. I have tried washing with mild soap and drying. I can not can the yellow out of the corners from gas heat and household dirt. My paper has a white background and it is turning yellow. What can I use to get it clean again

Answer 1

I've heard of using light colored children's modeling dough.

As for the cleaning dough, maybe fire restoration people might have something. They have a hand help "dry cleaner" for removing smoke. Also draftsmen have a bag filled with eraser shavings to take of smudges.

I'm assuming you've used the new new Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I have mixed feelings about it.

Have your tried cleaning with borax? Sprinkle some on a sponge?

Finally have you tried 4 ounces of TSP and 8 ounces ammonia to a gallon of warm water?? Pretty heavy duty cleaner. Rinse of course.
