Home cleaning hacks: How to refresh walls with kitchen staples
Many people decide to do a thorough house cleaning right before the holidays, which often includes cleaning the walls. Instead of reaching for expensive chemical agents, it's worthwhile to use what you can find in your own kitchen.
Renovation involves not only expenses but also the loss of valuable time. After painting the walls, you'll also need to clean up, which isn't one of the most pleasant tasks. However, there is a simpler way to make them just as clean.
A home remedy for cleaning walls
Dirty walls are a common problem in many homes. They often collect dust, and sometimes streaks appear. You might also find moisture or mold on them. Children, with their little hands, often leave marks as well. In this case, you don't need to opt for a renovation. Just know a simple trick to quickly get rid of many stains.
To clean dirty walls, you need a tablespoon of dish soap and about a litre of warm water. Mix both products in a bowl, then use a microfiber cloth or clean sponge to wash the entire stained surface.
Finally, just remove the excess water from the wall using a paper towel or a dry, soft cloth. After drying, there should be no trace of the dirt.
Chalk will deal with greasy stains
The mixture of water and dish soap isn't the only way to remove stains from the wall. It turns out that white chalk is excellent for removing greasy stains.
Simply cover the stain with it and leave it overnight. But that's not all. The next day, you need to remove it with a brush. However, do this very carefully to avoid scrubbing off the paint from the wall.
