We have a fairly newly painted ceiling that now has some lovely black marks from an inside soft football my son was bought for his birthday, supposed to be safe to use inside but clearly not the case!

Tried to take some pics to show what the marks look like and the offending spongey item!

Having had experience of piling in and trying something and making it worse thought would ask the expert people here how they would try and safely remove the marks bar repainting the offending spots

You could try rubbing (the marks!) gently with a clean, damp microfibre cloth.
 
A clean pencil eraser.
I often use one of the kids erasers to try and gently remove marks. Don’t rub too hard though as you don’t want to leave shiny spots.
 
If its decent paint, a magic eraser should to the job
 
Thanks all - Will try the eraser first and go from there.
 
Cheers for the Magic Eraser suggestion, worked like magic and now going round all the walls in the house to remove small marks!
