How to Clean Walls: Tips and Tricks from Haus Maids Fleet 

When was the last time you gave your walls a proper scrub? Probably longer ago than you’d like to admit, we’d wager.

The problem? Plenty of people don’t know how to clean walls properly, or they’re nervous about damaging their paint job with the wrong technique. 

Fortunately, our house cleaners in Fleet are here to help. In the article below, they’ve shared some of their top tips for cleaning your walls safely and efficiently. Let’s get into it… 

Use your vacuum cleaner 

First things first, you’ll want to remove any excess dust, dirt and debris from the wall’s surface. However, you want to make sure you do this gently to avoid creating new scuffs.  

So, we recommend taking the soft-bristled attachment on your vacuum cleaner to leave a clean slate for the next step. 

Make a solution of dish soap and water 

If you’re wondering how to clean walls without forking out for expensive chemicals and tools, you’ll be glad to hear that you don’t need them to get a good result. 

Our Fleet home cleaning experts suggest a simple combination of dish soap and warm water to do the job. Use a soft sponge to wipe down your walls using this solution before rinsing, drying and repeating until the area is clean. 

Erase marks with a DIY solution 

Many people swear by products like Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser to remove scuff marks and stains that don’t wipe away easily. However, these solutions can be quite abrasive and are likely to remove some of the paint on your wall. As a result, we’d recommend going for a gentler option.  

Believe it or not, all you need is toothpaste and baking soda! Create a mixture of the two and then apply it to any marks on your wall, leaving it to sit for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully wipe it away and wash away any leftover residue with clean water before drying with a clean towel. 

Repeat the process annually 

The best way to avoid long-term wall damage is to ensure you’re following this process at least once a year. There’s no need to whip your sponges out every week, but we’d suggest cleaning your walls annually to maintain a clean, hygienic home without stripping layers of paint away.
