removing pollen
 

A friend had lilies growing against a white spar finished wall, now has
yellow staining from the pollen, bleach hasn't cleaned it off, anyone got
any ideas on how to clean it.????

The only solution I've ever found to work is to repaint...........

Problem is it is a white spa finish and painting would ruin it

No, sorry. I got tired of lily pollen from cut flowers staining
whatever it touches in the house, so I cut off the stamens when
arranging them.

Maybe too late now but for next time, apparently you should brush it off dry
and then let the sun bleach it for an hour. It's the moisture in most
cleaning products which sets the stain.
