Removing water-based paint from walls involves a few key steps, primarily focusing on softening the paint and then gently removing it. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Steps to Remove Water Paint from Walls

Prepare the Solution:
- Mix equal parts of warm water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. This solution will help to break down the paint's bond with the wall.
