Cleaning Tips

Cleaning certain walls can pose a challenge. While it can be intimidating to tackle the task of cleaning the walls, it is a necessary household chore,  you don’t need any special wall cleaners, generally household products often do the trick!

Avoid abrasive or ammonia-based products 

These products will damage the paint surface

Use the right tools

For tools, you will need soft cloths or rags, buckets, a foam brush, and a vacuum with a brush attachment. Gentle products are better to avoid wear and tear of the colour and the surface of the walls.

Dust the walls

Prior to starting your cleaning project, give the walls a dusting using the brush attachment on your vacuum initially, then wipe them down with a cloth. If there is dust in the baseboards you can use a damp foam brush to easily swipe through the hard-to-reach places.

Washing the walls

Now that the initial layer of dust is removed, wash the walls with warm water and liquid or dish soap. You should always create a test patch before washing the entire wall just in case of potential damage.

Washing techniques

clean the surface with light and circular motions using a soft cloth or rag. Start from the top.

 Final Rinse

Give your newly clean walls one last wipe down to ensure the dust and dirt is gone for good  or at least for now. Lastly, dry the surface of the walls with a clean cloth and you’re done!
