Nigel, who leaves a disgusting smear from his greasy back on the store-room’s stucco wall. I have heard from many that this is not uncommon… every dog-owning friend I know has a stained wall or sofa somewhere.
3 spots in the house need regular cleaning for this “issue” – two where the dog leans again the wall laying down, and one corner she rubs against rounding a corner into the bedroom. Simple Green in water sponges it off.
My Nigel likes to rub against the walls to dry himself off from the rain. Fortunately it’s on the ground floor of my condo building so no stains inside the house. Nigel also likes to rub up against the padding inside the service elevator if walls didn’t do their job of drying him off.

Maybe he needs a BATH!

Magic Eraser. Removes drool, too! 😉

Never ever had this problem with the eight dogs I’ve owned throughout my life!

I am lucky, mine scratch their back on the chain link fence or the bushes.

At least your carpet is intact! He’s a doll!
Derrel Thompson
It’s called CLEAN! the wall once a week!
Birdgirl
He’s just adding a valuable patina….Don’t wash that wall!

You can’t clean the wall – he’s got it “just right” and that will ruin all of his work. Besides, it;s in a store room – who cares?
Dana
I just want to kiss that face.

My Golden did the same thing in my upstairs hallway, not nothing including painting over it with killz would make it go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marty
I have the same thing in my laundry room, we walk thru there to go for a walk. He is adorable grease and all
Cyndula
My dog does the same and I agree with Stephanie – Magic Eraser TOTALLY cleans mine! Works great. Your dog is adorable.

I agree with the magic eraser fix. Also works on lower spots, you know, where the cats rub. SUPER cute dog!

I used semi-gloss paint in the area wear the dog rubs and never had trouble getting the stain off with warm water and a towel.
