My bottle of ich treatment tipped over and leaked in my cupboard and down my wall on my wall paper. Now I have blue streaks running down my wall. I tried using Mr. Clean but it only lightened it up a bit. Was wondering if anyone knew what else I could try to get the stains off of the wall paper without ruining it?

The blue streaks are from the Methylene blue in the ich medication and it is well known as a lab stain that is extremely difficult to remove. 1,1,1-trichloroethane (found in some paint thinners) can help break down the color, but no promises about what it will do to the colors in the wallpaper. I have used this successfully to remove Methylene blue from carpeting in the past with very little discoloration. Again, no promises but you may find it to be worth a try. You can also try acetone to remove the stain, I haven't tried this one myself, but it should be less damaging than the trichloroethane.
In eoither of the above cases, treat the stain with the chemical and place a paper towel covered in cornstarch over it quickly to absorb as much of the stain as possible. Several tries may be needed to remove most of the color.
One additional note, the color does fade over time and exposure to light.

Sounds like Methylene Blue,hopeless. The things you can try are a laundry product called Oxyclean,or bleach,but either one will definitely have a bad affect on the wallpaper.Sorry. Good luck.

you're purely going to could desire to attend and see, and supply the medicine time to do it is job. 5 days isn't long sufficient to do away with the concern. it particularly is organic so which you may verify an strengthen in spots in the beginning up, as a results of fact the parasites are not on the instant seen in the fish. they could desire to finished this area of the existence cycle and go away the fish in the previous the medicine can artwork. Doing a water replace can no longer help the placement. while they go away the fish for duplicate they sink to the backside of the tank they do no longer swim around. Even in the loose swimming point it can be a crap shoot which you may siphon out sufficient to be of any help in any respect. go away your tank water suited the place it particularly is and proceed the scientific care. mutually as i individually choose for Clout for the scientific care of maximum exterior parasites which incorporate Ich; the Maracide which you're utilising will artwork purely effective in case you provide it time. Addendum: you may desire to forget approximately approximately jbjack32. He says which you may desire to on no account use meds for treating Ich, and then does no longer help his place. He tries to state that utilising Ich drugs lowers O2 and motives fish rigidity, yet gives you no info. the explanation is via the fact none exists. there's no longer something incorrect with utilising drugs in the event that they are used precise. i'm specific that jbjack32 makes use of drugs on himself while his healthcare professional prescribes it! As for killing fish with drugs, that's additionally fake. in case you carry on with the perfect suited protocol your fish would be purely effective and the Ich won't. the explanation that the medicine takes a mutually as is an identical reason that salt does. you may desire to attend out the existence cycle of the parasite till it leaves the fish and could become susceptable to scientific care. are not getting me incorrect, salt will artwork besides, yet no quicker and not to any extent further suitable. the concern you run into with salt is dosing. in case you spot anybody at right here has a distinctive dosage to advise. mutually as maximum species do effective, some do no longer tolerate salt nicely. If the concentration is purely too severe burns may be the effect. utilising a scientifically formulated drugs is a greater suitable selection; as a results of fact it is going to for sure define the powerful dosage and in case you carry on with it, you're transforming into minimum probablility of problems with optimal effectiveness.

Get yourself some fingernail polish remover. The acetone will remove the stain.
