They may be vertical surfaces, but your walls get dirty, too. When you get the notion, get your wall cleaning in motion.
Instructions
1. Protect your floors with newspapers or towels.
2. Brush cobwebs and dust from the wall with a soft-bristled brush.
3. Remove any remaining dirt with a dry-sponge - a rubber sponge available at most hardware stores. Rub the dry-sponge along the wall to lift dirt from it.
4. Fill a bucket about three-quarters full with warm water.
5. Add a small amount of dish soap - about as much as it takes to clean a sink full of dishes - to the bucket. This will be the cleaning bucket.
6. Place a second, empty bucket near the cleaning bucket. (You'll use this when you wring out the cleaning sponge.)
7. Dip a small portion of the flat face of a sponge into the cleaning bucket until it is damp.
8. Spread the cleaning solution on the wall with the sponge, beginning at the top and working toward the bottom. Use a ladder to reach the high spots on the wall.
9. Squeeze - but do not wring out - the sponge over the empty bucket after wetting the entire surface of the wall.
10. Blot the surface of the wall you've just cleaned to lift any further dirt from its surface.
11. Repeat this process until you have covered the wall.
12. Dry the wall using a terry cloth towel.
