To clean dirty walls effectively, follow these steps:
- Dust and Remove Cobwebs: Start by removing dust and cobwebs with a soft brush, vacuum with brush attachments, or a duster. This prevents spreading dirt during washing.
- Spot-Clean Stains: Identify and treat stains individually using appropriate cleaners based on the type of stain and wall material. Common stain removers include baking soda paste and specialized products.
- Wash the Wall: Use a diluted solution of mild detergent, dish soap, or a specially made cleaner like sugar soap mixed with water. Wash the walls gently with a soft sponge or cloth in sections, covering every part from top to bottom.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse walls with clean water to remove any cleaning residues. Use a damp sponge and then dry with a clean cloth or towel to avoid streaks or moisture damage.
Additional tips:
- Avoid using excessive water on porous or wallpapered walls to prevent peeling.
- For stubborn stains, use a baking soda paste or hydrogen peroxide with caution.
- Regular dusting and spot cleaning can keep walls looking fresh longer.
- Vinegar solutions can clean walls but may remove paint, so use cautiously.
This method will help achieve clean walls without damaging them, keeping your living space fresh and well-maintained.
