Toothpaste Hardened on Wall

By dawn (Guest Post)

I just use very hot water and continue to be diligent with some elbow grease and it come off.

It is toothpaste, it smells minty. I have heard of people using it as filler when they damage the walls of a rental property.

Water is not softening it much, just the outter little bit (may have to really work at it over days and take it off by layers). There was a lot of toothpaste put on the wall and the poster stuck on while it was wet.. so now there are large gobs of toothpaste on the wall, some with pieces of "tupac" stuck to them :( Pretty gross.

Have you just tried using water?

I can not imagine toothpaste would hold a poster! Are you sure it is toothpaste?...It could be some sort of putty...You could try softening it with a hairdryer and then try scraping it off. If this takes most of the putty off, use lighter fluid to remove the residue that is left...
