Yep. Exactly what it sounds like. My Roomie’s cats, Bubby & Sissy, have a chronic condition that makes them sneeze. Therefore, dried cat snot gets on the walls ALL the time. We have tried every cleaner known to man. Anybody else had/been able to solve this problem?

Woolite gets dog drool off floors. Worth a shot, if you’ve got some around.

Heh. I know what you mean. My three cats always sit on the same windowsill, and there is a trail of spots where they have sneezed or hissed or breathed against the window.

I wonder of cat snot is one of those substances that lights up under UV light. That might help with local cleaning.
