What is the best way to clean/wash a white wall?

Question

All my walls are white and there for stains, dirt, etc, etc show up pretty well. What is the best way to get stuff off my walls??

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The magic eraser by Mr Clean (or any generic or other brand version) works beautifully. The first time you do it, it's going to be quite a job to get them all -- it really does work like an eraser except that you wet it before you "erase" the stains with it. Just rub the stain back and forth with the damp eraser and it goes away :) Of course, try an inconspicuous place first to make sure it won't remove the paint.

Keep one handy and whenever you spot a stain, just wet the eraser and rub it off. Your walls will stay beautiful easily that way :D

Answer 2

A gallon of hot water and a cup of either Ammonia or Vinegar. If you start washing and the paint comes off, then you've not choice except to repaint. Cheap paint can't be washed...instead it turns chalky and washes off the walls.

Answer 3

Mr clean has a cleaning block that takes crayola marks off
very easy just wet it rub over the spot and it's gone dirt or whatever it might be. I buy mine at wal mart, i'm sure most stores carry it.

Answer 4

I use Oxi clean and a rent a hi pressure sprayer it works like a charm. but remember to seal it with a finish protection paint when your done it wont stain as bad the next time and it will be washable

Answer 5

Try a solution of vinegar and baking soda. It will fizz and bubble, but should work. Or try baking soda and plain water. There is also a product called 'stain kill', available at any home deport or lowes. Works great! Regards-Bob.

Answer 6

The magic eraser really works, you could get the one from mr clean or the scrubbing bubbles.

The only downside is that you have to work hard on it, but it will come out!

Answer 7

just use a bucket with some bleach or some cleaning agent like 409 with a scrubbing pad that should clean up pretty good
