Hello One of my cats has constant sinus probs . She will inevitably sneeze and it goes up the wall . If I don't catch it and it dries it is a devil to get off ! Does anyone have the answer to a magic cleaner please?

Yeah, definitely get him checked out (if you haven't already). I remember when I was a little kid, our Diablo left lovely artwork pretty much everywhere. We were still cleaning it up years after he died as we'd find all the places it landed. So I don't have a good answer.

Have you tried a magic eraser?  I was able to get some burn marks off a wall at our old house with one.  (At least I thought that's what it was; it had never washed off before.)  For some stubborn things I hold a damp sponge or paper towel over it for a minute and that helps.  Especially warm water!  I'm not sure if that's a good idea for every type of paint though.  I try to get finishes that you can wipe down when we paint.

Baby wipes clean amazing well. I use them in walls, furniture (for a freshen up snd hair removal) and even to clean off those facial marks that cats leave behind.

Ditto on the Magic Erasers from Mr Clean. That and I spray them with a pet cleaning product that has hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for a moment to soften. You let those cat snot rockets dry, they're like scraping up concrete.

Triple(?) the suggestion on Magic Erasers. I volunteer for a cat sanctuary and clean the General Population room every Sunday. Lots of cats, lots of snots. What we do there is spray a solution like Nature's Miracle on the spot(s), wait a few minutes (important), and then use the Magic Eraser. Magic Erasers or similar brand don't seem to take off the paint but, frankly, that is not a big concern.

I took it in three stages for my cat's mucus paintings. First, diluted vinegar. Pretty much no effect there, but maybe it helped the next.
Then, walgreens brand carpet stain remover. I don't know the active ingredient, but I saw a pretty major effect. Most of the blobs shrank with one wipe. Then, warm soap and water scrubbing finished the job.
