Before you start cleaning, remove loose dust and debris from the walls. Use a soft-bristle brush or a clean microfiber cloth to gently brush the walls from top to bottom.
Fill a bucket with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap or a gentle all-purpose cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the paint.
If there are any noticeable stains or marks on the walls, spot-clean them first. Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the cleaning solution and gently rub the stained area in a circular motion.
Once you’ve spot cleaned the stains, it’s time to clean the entire wall. Dip a clean sponge or cloth into the cleaning solution and wring out any excess liquid.
Don’t forget to clean the baseboards and corners of the walls, as they can accumulate dirt and dust. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe these areas thoroughly.
To prevent water spots or streaks, it’s important to dry the walls thoroughly. Use a clean, dry cloth or a microfiber cloth to gently pat the walls dry.
If you notice any areas where the paint has faded or been damaged during the cleaning process, you may need to touch up those spots with a matching paint color.
