It sounds like you have flat wall paint, not a gloss. Nothing will help except repainting; you have wiped layers of paint off. Cleaning flat-painted surfaces is hard to do, the semi-gloss is much easier to clean.

Sorry there is nothing else for you to do, but paint is cheap, and if you get the same color I can't see why your landlord would disapprove.

I agree, nothing but repainting will fix this. But, you don't have to repaint the whole wall, just that area.

Keep an empty pickle or other glass jar handy, and the next time you see the painter in an apartment, ask for some touch up paint. Buy a $1 disposable brush and you are good to go.

Otherwise, remove one of the electrical outlet cover plates and take it to the closest paint store and have them match it.

If your walls are white, the painters are probably using a paint store's pre-mixed color called Shell White. Start with the paint store closest to you. That's probably where the painters are going.

Will have to try this. Thanks

I had this happen to walls I had just painted with an eggshell finish Paint. I had only lightly rubbed the wall with the magic eraser and it left small marks. It looked sort of like a dull spot that was really visible when the light hit just right. I rubbed a teeny tiny tiny amount of avocado oil onto the spot with my finger tip and then rubbed that with a Viva paper towel (not sure if the brand matters but they are really soft and it worked) and you can’t see it any more.

Hello! Did the dry magic eraser trick work?!

Use LA fantastic cleaner diluted with water. Just found it in a YouTube video today :)

Got a link, Michelle?
