lady, take a deep breath, yes, you are right about Benghazi, but we can handle daily life too

How about we get back to Benghazi? We can do more than one thing at a time. Or at least some of us can. Just leave this thread and follow a Benghazi thread. There are lots to choose from.

I have no idea what kind of wall you are talking about but you might try hanging a picture or something over the greasy spot. If you can't clean it off...... cover it up.

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

I would try a tiny bit of Bartender’s Friend (an abrasive in a medium similar to Comet)—I have good luck with it. use a damp cloth to pick up a crumb, and work gingerly. This stuff is what I use to clean my glass-top cooktop.

TSP works great for washing walls, painters use it all the time.

WD 40 also removes the reside(sic) left behind from gray tape and other adhesives.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I have used generic "Mean Green," both mixed with warm water and as a spray on. I think all it did was spread it out a little thinner. It must have been absorbed into the paint/wall pores by now.
I'm not happy about it, especially since I caused it, but this is what happened and I'll just have to be satisfied with it.
I'm becoming afraid to even touch a wall.

I did not see either of these ideas posted yet: One to try is white vinegar. The other would be some barely dampened baking soda, just enough to make it stick to the surface. Let it dry and brush off. It might soak up some of the greasy stuff with it.

Bigger question is- what salve are you using for the psoriasis, and does it work? The only solution I've found for my psoriasis is sunshine. Soon as spring has sprung and I can get a day in the boat with no shirt fishing for Crappie, mine goes away. I've also had success with tanning beds, but I'd almost rather have psoriasis than lay in one of those things where others junk has dangled.

Here is a site with natural home remedies for psoriasis.
http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/psoriasis.html
I don't have psoriasis, but I do have a patch of eczema on one elbow. The raw apple cider vinegar and coconut oil remedy info I got from the site works great. Hope you can find something that helps.

Get a brass brush and rub the dry wall hard, taking off the outer paper and some of the inner gypsum. When satisfied that you’ve scraped off enough (area-wise) to get the oil/grease, apply joint compound from a typical hardware jar, smooth it out. Sand it the next day, then paint over it and do the entire wall. You will forget you ever had a problem.

It started as a relatively small patch a few years ago. Now I'm in the process of becoming a mineral.

Agree. Dawn original is the most powerful degreaser than any other surfactant made. It was used to degrease birds and animals in the Exxon Valdez cleanup.
Here is the key— use a dilute solution of Dawn and water, for example one and one/half tablespoons Dawn, per quart of water for heavily greasy surfaces. The key is to provide enough water to emulsify (dissolve) grease into the water solution.
Proper diluted Dawn and water will degrease a car engine, even better with hot water, than most petrochemical solvents. And does it safer.

Ditto on that. Dawn is also good if your toddler get half a big jar of diaper rash ointment in their hair........yeah it happened.
