    Try scrubbing gently with a nail brush and some warm soapy water.

    Flash Eraser!! I used this in desperation when my DD nail varnished my newly decorated dining room wall and it all came off. You just slightly (don't soak it) dampen the eraser and very gently rub (almost dab) the stain and it just erases it!! Magic stuff but alas not OS!!!

    How about shaving foam? It works on biro on my 3 piece suite. Or cheap perfume is worth a try on walls! Good luck.
