What Is The Best Way To Clean Your Walls

See this content in the original post

Hi everyone, Tim here from Chasing Pristine with another tip while home cleaning 

There are a few different methods for cleaning walls, depending on the type of wall and the level of dirt or grime present. Here are some tips for the best way to clean your walls:

1. Dust or vacuum first: Before getting into any actual cleaning, it's important to remove any loose dust or debris from the walls. You can do this by lightly dusting with a microfiber cloth or using a vacuum with a soft brush attachment.

2. Use a mild cleaner: For most walls, a mild cleaner such as dish soap or all-purpose cleaner diluted with water will do the trick. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the paint or finish on your walls.

3. Spot test first: If you're unsure how a cleaner will react with your walls, it's always a good idea to do a spot test in an inconspicuous area first. This will help you avoid any potential damage to your walls.

4. Start at the top: When cleaning, it's best to work from top to bottom. This way, any dirt or cleaner that drips down will be caught by the areas below that still need cleaning.

5. Use a sponge or cloth: Dip a sponge or cloth into your cleaning solution and wring out any excess liquid. Then, gently scrub the walls in a circular motion. For stubborn spots, you may need to apply a bit more pressure or use a soft-bristled brush.

6. Rinse with water: Once you've scrubbed all the walls, it's important to rinse off any remaining cleaner with clean water. You can do this by lightly dampening a clean cloth and wiping down the walls.

7. Dry with a towel: After rinsing, use a clean towel to dry the walls. This will help prevent any streaks or water spots from forming.

8. Address tough stains: If you encounter any tough stains, such as crayon marks or scuff marks, you may need to use a specialised cleaner or technique to remove them. For example, a magic eraser can work wonders on removing crayon marks.

9. Consider the type of wall: The method for cleaning your walls may vary depending on the type of wall you have. For example, painted walls may require a gentler touch than wallpaper or textured walls.
