How to clean painted walls

Cleaning painted walls is simple with the right approach. Start by dusting the walls with a microfiber cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dirt and cobwebs. Mix warm water with a mild dish soap or white vinegar for a gentle cleaning solution. Dip a soft sponge in the solution, wring it out, and gently wipe the walls in circular motions. Focus on high-touch areas like light switches and door frames. For tougher stains, use a baking soda paste or a diluted solution of water and ammonia. Always test a small, hidden area first to avoid damage. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could strip the paint. Once clean, dry the walls with a soft cloth to prevent streaks. Regular maintenance helps keep painted walls fresh and prolongs their lifespan without needing frequent repainting.
