Me and my family moved into this house like 2 years ago. One of the family memebers have become pregnant. So of course we are painting the walls over again. The walls are white. And we wont be able to paint until we get this goo off the walls. We tryed using a razor and clorox and all that stuff. So if there is another way out there then please let me know Immediately!!!! Thanx!!!

Duct tape residue is tough-try a product called goof off-it is used to remove dried drips of latex paint but also takes off adhesives
Some say wd 40 will work but you will have to deal with the oil left on the wall
Lacquer thinner will work on a plaster wall or wood
You might be better off on drywall walls to scrape it real good and patch over the gouges with ready mixed joint compound.
Don't ever put duct tape on a wall again

I am a part time painter. Go to your local paint store & select some 2 inch masking tape ( usually blue ). The tape comes in various release times. Some painters don't bother to read the print on the inside surface of the roll. For example 3 day release. This is the only tape I would use. The paint store should have some 8 foot or taller lightweight plastic made for covering whole wallls when you spray ceilings. Make it one stop shopping.

try goof off then use a piece of fine grit sand paper don't forget to wipe the walls after finish sanding then use a primer tinted to the color paint you will use so it will save on the paint and the paint will stick to the wall better
