What is the best cleaning product for washing walls?

Mr. Clean-magic eraser.What is the best cleaning product for washing walls?
U CAN USE PINSOLE OR 409.bOTH WORK JUST AS WELL AS THE OTHERWhat is the best cleaning product for washing walls?
The only cleaner that I find is the best and leaves no streaks or residue behind is Hertel. You can buy the liquid Hertel in a green bottle at most big stores, such as Walmart, Target or Kmart. You only need one capful with a bucket of water. I also use it to wash my windows, it works great
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is good for small stains. Otherwise, a sponge and soapy water will do the trick. Always test a small area in a non-visible spot to make sure that whatever soap you're using won't ruin the wall.
Mr clean magic eraser works...I worked in a day care at church and I used it all the time! you can use it on the fridge bathrooms, kitchen, and counters. ;)
I agree with the TSP answer, hands down the best cleaner to prep for painting, wallpaper, etc.
TSP - Trisodium Phosphate.
the mr clean magic eraser is wonderful it gets of crayon and the nasty nicotine my husband gets on the walls it gets anything off
one of the greatest inventions of our time, oxy clean. okay, i tried this stuff years ago when it first came out and it didn't do squat. turns out i didn't read the instructions right. it must be activated by hot water. you don't have to do your wash with only hot water, but you must activate is with a little hot water, then add a couple of drops of dish detergent to your spray bottle and you will be so amazed at how it eats through grime. i found out that oxy clean is just dehydrated hydrogen peroxide {and yes you can use the hydrogen peroxide that comes already hydrated but it is easier to store the dehydrate because the container is smaller}. i use if for laundry, blood stains, pet stains, even in by carpet cleaner. it won't eat fabric like bleach will and is able to cut through many things that detergents alone can't
A mild dish detergent with warm water works nicely. Also, Borax is nice.
The first answer was right--TSP. I've used it quite often. It's great. Just remember to wear rubber gloves. It's great if you're repainting and don't know what type of paint is already on the wall. It primes the old paint so you can paint over it with any type of pain (e.g. latex over oil-based).
using a sponage mop, a bucket , dish soap and a capful of bleach.


fill bucket with 3/4 of warm water,. Squirt of dish soap (DAWN) and bleach.


dip the sponage mop in water, then wash off wall in an up and down motion.


do it with lots of water on the mop this way the entire wall gets soak.


be ready to mop-up the floor afterwards as well.
I don't recommend Mr. Clean magic erasers because they contain chemicals that have been found to cause cancer (and especially not at a daycare!). Oxy clean or borax are better alternatives. I'm going to try the mop next time!
The kids with hands and elbows who put the stains there and give them that Mr clean eraser magic or oxy clean it does the trick with a little elbow action
Fantastic in a spray bottle. Spray a section at a time by rubbing it on with a sponge. Then rinse sponge in clean water and go over the section again.


For very dirty walls, repeat process until each layer of dirt is removed.
