These are five easy steps to cleaning your painted walls and brightening up the atmosphere of your home.
Here are the best ways to clean painted walls:
1. Dust your walls! This may seem like a crazy thing to do because you are going to be cleaning your walls anyways. However it will make your job of getting spiffy clean walls much easier. Think about it – if you do not get rid of the dust, it will mix with the water used to clean and make brown streaks along the walls.
2. Make yourself arm protectors! Why? Has nasty water ever dripped down your arms as you cleaned? If you dislike that feeling, there is a solution! Wrap a towel around your wrist and secure it by placing a rubber band around your wrist as well. No more dripping down your arms!
3. Hit the walls! Don’t literally hit the walls, but get to work on the walls. Have a bucket of cleaning solution (or just simply water) and a few towels ready. Dip your towel into the solution and get to work. Scrub the walls in circular motions with your wet solutions. After they are clean, take a dry towel and dry the walls.
4. Get rid of the stains. Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to get rid of stains. These sponges work great for Crayons and other random stains.
5. Repeat! Some stains are hard to clean, so don’t be afraid to repeat methods two or three times. Then you can take a step back and observe all your hard work!
