Removing emulsion - spray from roller

Hi

Looking for advice here - last week I had a room emulsioned and unfortunately there is very light spray from the roller on the woodwork (which was varnished a few years back but isn't very shiny).

What's the best way of removing this? I've been picking away at it but it's not really good for my fingernails and I'm sure there is a better/quicker/more effective method.

Thanks

    wipe gently and persistently with a cloth soaked in warm water. you may need to try several times. You could also try using a nylon scourer gently. But do try to ease it off with warm water while using the scourer

    thanks, will try the nylon scourer as that doesn't seem too abrasive and kinder to my fingernails!
