How do I wash my walls inside my house they have paint on them and I don't want the paint coming off.Thanks

Answer 1

I did this recently in my kitchen. It took me two days to complete (the walls were really dirty, and I was exhausted!). I filled a large bucket with really, really hot water, and added a healthy dose of store-brand cleaner (like Mr.Clean). I got a new, sponge-head mop (the kind where you have to press out the excess water with the attached plastic "flap"), and started in one corner, at the top (always start at the top of the wall, at the ceiling line, as some water will inevitably drip down). I did one continuous "sweep" downwards, stopping about half-way down to rinse the mophead off under very hot water in the sink, then dipping again in the bucket to start again. I was shocked (and embarrassed!) at how much dirt there was on those walls!!! By the time I finished, the whole room looked as if it had been repainted. It was well worth the sweat.

If the walls you are talking about are painted with flat paint, you have to be careful not to saturate them, or use too much (or too potent) cleaner, and don't apply too much pressure as you move the mop. You may have to go around the room a second time.

If you're only talking about a few spots here and there, then it would be better (and far less work) to spot-clean with a rag and an appropriate cleaner. I use a product called "Goo Gone" (available in the hardware section at WalMart, less than $3) for almost everything, from grease stains to crayon/pen marks. Let me warn you, though - once you wash away a small area, you may find that, by comparison, the rest of the wall looks shabby - and you will end up washing the whole room, anyway.

On the plus side, it's a helluva calorie burner!!!

If the partitions are carried out in flat white paint and you % to repaint particular factors there must be no substantive distinction. it is that if the home is definitely freshly painted. Flat paint does not mirror the mild a similar way satin or eggshell does and is significantly better at hiding flaws in the techniques simply by this yet a discomfort to scrub because of the fact as you have found out it comes off. you additionally can attempt Mr. clean Eraser first or only mild dish cleansing soap and delicate textile. in case you do touch up the area and there's a substantive distinction probability is the paint isn't that clean or sure, low-priced paint. yet another determination is to repaint entirely that wall the two in white or an accessory shade. That way if there's a shade distinction it heavily isn't as substantive. desire this enables.
