Put a splash panel up, then you can just wipe it clean.Oil from frying pan flys onto kitchen wall what to do?
To clean the walls from the splattering oil or grease in general, I heard vinegar and water does a good job on painted walls. There are also some degreasing products in the kitchen section of the market that might be suitable if you check the labels.





To prevent the oil from popping all over the place from the pan, you need a 'splatter guard' like this:

They're like a siev but for placing over pans.
You obviously do not have a back splash behind your stove. This is something usually made of ceramic tile, metal or some other material that does not absorb grease splatter and is easily washed that is on the wall behind or around the top of the stove. If these things are not an option, a high gloss paint will work just as well. Do not use wall paper or contact paper!


As for the grease already on the wall, you will need to clean the wall with a degreaser, can be found in the paint section of Lowes or Home Depot. Then paint the wall with a primer (such as KILLS) that will keep any remaining grease from bleeding thru the paint. Then paint with a high gloss paint that will be easier to keep clean.


Hope this helps with your problem!
Take a damp (not soaking wet) sponge with Dawn Liquid detergent.





Also, you can try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, rub gently.





It works for us all the time and does not remove the paint.
