Did you know?
Certainly cleaning the walls is not a priority in the housework. It is a luxury since no one has so much time every day.
But sometimes it can be a priority if something happens at home like a frantic party or a big stain stain.
Once you have soaped the surface you want and after waiting for 5 minutes, use the clean sponge and the bowl with plain water to remove the soap (if the water gets dirty then make sure to change it). Finally wipe with a dry towel.
In any case, it is a job that must be done (I will also talk to you about the frequency) and a process that may seem mountainous, but it is simple and will make your space shine. Of course there are steps to properly clean a dirty wall and make it look freshly painted.
The easy process for cleaning the wall
The first thing you need to do before you start cleaning the dirty wall is to dust the surface. If you do not, you will transport dirt and dust even to places that are not dirty. You can do it with a clean cloth and a flat clean and dry mop in places you can not reach.
Before you start soaping the wall, make sure that the floor of your house will not be filled with water – and you will do other work. For this you will need a dry cloth or a tarpaulin that you will spread on the floor in front of the place where you are going to clean.
Fill 2 bowls with water. In one mix 1 tablespoon of soap per 4 cups of water. Use one of the soft sponges and soap the wall. Once you have soaped the surface you want and after waiting for 5 minutes, use the clean sponge and the bowl with plain water to remove the soap (if the water gets dirty then make sure to change it). Finally wipe with a dry towel.
If your wall is more dirty just to clean with mild soap and water, then try vinegar or soda. Pour a cup of vinegar into a bowl of hot water and gently rub the stain with a clean, soft sponge. You do not need to do anything more – not even rinse.But sometimes it can be a priority if something happens at home like a frantic party or a big stain stain.
A very important (and last) step is to open the balcony doors and let your space be very well ventilated. And once it is completely dry put back what items you removed to clean it.
