ironstarz 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2011 Recently just renovated my place, and saw some paint mark on the door, so i took thinner and wiped the paint off, the next thing i knew was that there was some kind of smudge stain left behind , not sure is it because of the thinner or what. Can anyone advise what should i use to clean these stain off ? Tried using vinegar already but does not work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
