The Great Guacamole Debacle: How to Wage War on Wall-Based Avocados
Ah, avocado. The creamy, dreamy fruit that elevates everything from toast to tacos. But what happens when your love affair with this trendy superfood takes a messy turn? Let's face it, we've all been there. Maybe a rogue pit launched itself during a late-night guacamole frenzy, or perhaps your inner Picasso decided to express their love for the green goodness directly on the wall. Whatever the reason, you're now staring down a battlefield of brown mush on your once pristine paint. Fear not, fellow avocado enthusiasts, for help is here!
How To Get Avocado Off Walls |
Step One: Assess the Avocado Atrocity
The Fresh Offender: If you caught the culprit red- (well, brown-) handed, consider yourself lucky. Fresh avocado is much easier to vanquish than its dried-on brethren.

The Fossilized Foe: Uh oh. A hardened avocado stain is a more formidable opponent. But fret not, for even the most stubborn guacamole Goliath can be defeated with the right tactics.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.![]()
Step Two: Choose Your Weapon (Wisely)
The Humble Spoon: Your first line of defense should be a trusty spoon. Gently scrape away any excess avocado, taking care not to spread the stain further. Remember, this is a delicate operation, not a guacamole excavation project.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.![]()
The Soapy Squad: For both fresh and petrified avocado offenses, a gentle soapy solution is your friend. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water. Dampen a clean, soft cloth and dab the stain. Avoid scrubbing! We don't want to anger the avocado gods by removing a layer of paint along with their green gift.

The Baking Soda Brigade: Is your soapy soldier struggling? For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 15 minutes (think of it as a guacamole spa treatment), then wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
The Magic of Micellar Water (Yes, Really!) Believe it or not, the gentle cleansing power of micellar water can work wonders on avocado stains. Just dampen a cotton pad and dab the stain gently.
The Cavalry Arrives (For Particularly Brutal Battles): If all else fails, consider a commercial stain remover. But always test it on an inconspicuous area of the wall first! You don't want to trade an avocado stain for a bleach blotch.
Step Three: Celebrate Your Victory (and Maybe Rethink Your Guacamole-Flinging Technique)
Once the war is won and your walls are avocado-free, take a moment to celebrate! Perhaps with some actual, mess-free guacamole enjoyed responsibly on a plate (or in a bowl, we're not judging). Though, maybe avoid using a slingshot to get the avocado into the guacamole this time.
