ues warm soapy water on latex paint and any cleaner on oil base paint.

What can wash pencil off of light color walls and a steel door without ruining the paint or smudging?
';409';What can wash pencil off of light color walls and a steel door without ruining the paint or smudging?
That is a difficult one. You could try using toilet soap (dove type) and water with a soft rag, or sponge, but it will show a difference in surrounding texture. However, even if you decide to repaint the area, you still have to remove the pencil marks first.What can wash pencil off of light color walls and a steel door without ruining the paint or smudging?

Does anyone use a particular sponge or rag when cleaning walls? Has anyone used a steamer to wash walls?
My paint is a flat paint and my walls aren't that bad, but I have a very bad back and I'm searching for things that will help me get the job done without putting myself in traction for a year! I purchased a portable steamer and thought I could either put a cloth over it (like doing floors) but I haven't tried it yet. I can't believe someone still hasn't come out with a ';spray on, whipe off'; wall cleaner!Does anyone use a particular sponge or rag when cleaning walls? Has anyone used a steamer to wash walls?
Mix 1⁄2 cup vinegar, 1 cup clear ammonia, 1⁄4 cup baking soda, and 1 gallon warm water. Caution: Wear rubber gloves, and work in a well-ventilated area when using this powerful solution.
Apply to the wall with a sponge, and rinse with clear water. If your walls have a rough texture, use old nylon stockings or socks rather than a sponge because they won't tear and leave difficult-to-remove bits on the surface.Does anyone use a particular sponge or rag when cleaning walls?

My Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works wonders on the wall. If there is some way to attach that to the end of a pole or something, it may help save your back.

Is it possible to wash a wall that has been painted with a water based paint without damaging it?
My walls are really dirty because I babysit a lot. lol there are hand prints, crayon pictures, and lots of really dirty spots. Is there a way that I can wash it? If so please explain the process.Is it possible to wash a wall that has been painted with a water based paint without damaging it?
You can wash your walls. What it looks like afterward depends on the quality of the paint that was used. Don't use an oil product, like Murphy's. It will need to be rinsed thoroughly or it will leave residue behind. Use hot water and a cleaner like Mr. Clean or $pic and $pan. Start at the bottom of the wall and work your way up. That sounds backwards, but if you start at the top, the detergent dripping through the dirty wall will leave streaks that won't come off. Hope this helps.Is it possible to wash a wall that has been painted with a water based paint without damaging it?
If you have crayon on your walls, you will need to purchase a product like ';goof-off'; or ';goo-gone'; to get rid of the crayon. You will never be able to paint over crayon. (trust me, I learned that the hard way). If you want to start with removing the grime that kids tend to leave on walls, use ';Murphy's oil soap';. It is a great cleaner that is very gentle on painted surfaces. You can buy each of the products that I have mentioned at Walmart.
You can't wash water based paint with water - it just dilutes it so you'll have pale patches where the paint has kind of washed off. I swear by microfibre cloths, which pick up dirt at an amazing rate and don't need any chemicals. You could try one either dry, or barely damp. But I still think the rubbing would take off the paint. The thing you're supposed to do, though I've not tried it, is rub with stale bread! Why not wash off all the prints, spots and pictures and repaint those areas?
Yes, water based paint is only ';water soluble'; while it is wet. Once it has dried, it can withstand cleaning with mild soap and a wet sponge.
