Nice job.
What's your 'special soup'? |

It's washing powder, I do not know how we say in English? Some powder to washing? |
||||
| Roly Williams |
... but not in the washing machine, I hope! Yes, washing powder is correct English. |

I think it depends on the age of the paint. Fresh paint will come off easier than old. |
