    You may be able to gently scrape the white out away with sandpaper or the edge of a coin. If the wall isn’t painted, try a solvent, such as acetone. Unfortunately, any method you use could potentially damage the paint on your wall, so you might need to patch the area with a little fresh paint.

    Most forms of correction fluid aren’t toxic, and it won’t hurt you to get a little on your skin. However, it can be stubborn and hard to remove, so avoid getting it on your skin as much as possible. In case of a spill, it will typically come off your skin if you scrub it with a little soap and water.

    Typically, a little acetone-based nail polish remover will do the trick. However, be cautious using acetone if the metal surface is painted, since it could wipe away the paint. In this case, you can try a gentler solvent, like rubbing alcohol, but test it in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn’t damage the paint.
