    I work for a small cleaning company in country Tassie and we do everything from domestic to commercial, windows, floors, walls and ceilings. I would just check a search engine for cleaning services in Melbourne and see what comes up.





    Good luck!I need someone to wash my walls and ceilings where do I find them in melbourne?
    Have them Painted you will find that the diffrence in the price is not as much as you may think The time frame is basically the same and everything is going to have to moved......think about it

    How do i wash my walls without removing the paint?

    The easiest way and proper way is to use sugar soap. It is specifically designed to be used on walls and is very cheap, especially if your preping for painting because after you wash it off and it dries it wont affect the new pant. It can be bought at any hardware store or paint shop if there close by if not most major supermarkets will stock it. Dont forget to do the ceiling if its a bit old, youll suprised how much whiter it will show up, especially if its a smokers house. Good luck, youll have a busy weekend washing your walls downHow do i wash my walls without removing the paint?
    I would repaint your walls with washable paint. I dont know how long ago your ewalls were painted, but if the paint comes off, it might be time to repaint. Make sure you get washable paint.How do i wash my walls without removing the paint?
    I just use a mild nonspelling non colored soap and warm water with a sponger and scrub them it works well just dont get the walls soaked. and DONT use vinegar like others are telling you to do it will make your home stink forever!
    baby oil works a treat on most things!
    vinegar and water will do the trick and they will come realy clean.

    What can I wash the walls with?

    My living room walls are magnolia and are quite grubby (baby hand prints etc). I live in a rented house so I need to know what to use to not cause any damage. I don't want to repaint! Would sugar soap do anything? It looks like normal house paint, I don't know the difference between emulsion or any other paint. ThanksWhat can I wash the walls with?

    Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner is pretty good but warm water with washing powder and mix in a little bleach. The only thing is, you'll have to wash all the wall because it'll be very noticeable if you dont
    use a gentle soap, nothing with ammonia, that will begin to remove a water based paint.
    sugar soap might take the paint off the wall if you just want to wash the walls to make them clean I would use flash all purpose cleaner it has a nice clean fresh smell too
    get u a Mr eraser... they work great
    a liquid
    yes sugar soap will bring off all the dirt and grease the only thing it will make the paint look a bit dull and flat but it does clean it up very well,, the walls and ceiling are usually painted with emulsion.. either matt or silk ..so shiny ..silk or flat ..matt the woodwork has gloss that is shiny and hard wearing .
    yep that should do it.. sugar soap is good for such things





    as long as you dry it out also.. e.g. heating or using another DRY sponge after to wipe away excess water.





    just take care if there are any wall sockets, make sure u don't get water near them.
    Yes sugar soap works wonders , make sure you wear rubber gloves as its hard on skin.
    MR Clean,And if its real bad you could use SOS pads ,but only on hard surfaces, but MR Clean is the best
    Sugar soap
    if the paint is flat, forget it! if it has any gloss use dawn and water with a soft sponge

    How can I best wash my walls? The landlord used cheap paint or maybe it's just a base coat but I like to wash

    the walls at least once a month to remove all the fingerprints that accumalate on the doors, around light switches etc, but it's like the dirt smudges have soaked into the wall or something because not everything will wash off. I currently use Mr.Clean and a liitle bleach mixed together, but it doesn't clean all dirt smudges off.How can I best wash my walls? The landlord used cheap paint or maybe it's just a base coat but I like to wash
    Try White vinegar and hot water.How can I best wash my walls? The landlord used cheap paint or maybe it's just a base coat but I like to wash
    Buy a bar of Octagon Soap and make a good soapy solution with water. It take some of the worst marks including ink and crayon off of wall plus cuts through grease. All you need otherwise is a good rag and elbow grease.
    mr clean magic erasers work the best for walls. They take off markers,crayons,grease,and those nasty little fingerprints that you swear you got off but somehow in a different light they came back!
    **** and span works good, but follow the label directions. For oily spots try a solution of TSP (tri sodium phosphate) this is available in paint or hardware stores. Just use rubber gloves to protect you hands.
    Try spicnspan. Great for walls and floors.


    Yahoo won't let the the word show. How weird.


    I typed in a website so you will know what I mean. Yahoo won't let the web page show neither. The link is dead, no need of trying it.


    Murphy's Oil is very good for walls, wood, etc.





    You should not mix bleach with any other cleaning products.
    Have you tried the Mr. Clean magic erasers? Everything in my house is white and I haven't had a problem yet getting all the dirt and finger smudges off my walls, doors, entryways, appliances, etc. Hope this helps.
    Get a product called Soilax, usually can get it at hardware stores.
    magic eraser!! It is great!
    depending on HOW long you have lived there You can do 2 things really








    1. if You have lived in the Flat for a very short period of time than speak to the Landlord about fresh Paint at His expense.





    2. if they are Your smudges and prints Most likely You will need to Paint with a higher grade of Paint that is washable.








    Most drywall is hard to wash, Most times the paint will wipe off like chalk. and leave the area you washed with a yellow tent or Gray. try calling your local Home improvement store and ask for the Paint department and they will be more than glad to help, and may even have a special cleaner.





    Best of luck

    Mr. CLean Magic eraser works really well!
    Try using for the dirt smudges, the Mr. Clean eraser- I've used it and loved it so much I almost went and cleaned my brothers house who has 5 kids..Thank god I came to my senses..lol Anyways if that don't seem to work try using awesome,rubber gloves,and warm water-spray the area first w/awesome,then wipe down -do it one section at a time as it will run. Both are my favorite deep cleaning item's.





    oh yeah one more thing you can buy awesome at any dollar tree for a dollar. It's cheap but works!
    there is a product called PST ....it works great on walls
    A product called TSP is what we use in smoke and fire damage restoration, it cleans great but it sounds like you have a flat base finish on your walls, not much you can do. I would suggest re-painting with an oil base finish (washable finish), semi-gloss etc...

    What is the best cleaning solution to wash walls before painting them?

    Go to your local hardware or paint store and ask for TSP. It is a powder that you dissolve in water. TSP has worked well for many yearsWhat is the best cleaning solution to wash walls before painting them?
    I use diluted Top Job, Sp!c 'N Span, or Mr. Clean.





    What to clean with is less important than removing all dust and spots such as fingerprints. Any cleaning solution will do ... remove the spots/stains with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, give the walls a cursory cleaning, let dry, then prime and paint.What is the best cleaning solution to wash walls before painting them?
    **** and Span, it is a dry product that you mix with water and depending on the job, follow the directons on the box.
    I would use a non foaming cleaner like Pine sol in water that won't leave soap residue but will remove any cooking oils, etc. from your walls..
    First take a good soft brush and sweep every inch of them. Then to wash them, use TSP in water. Let them dry and they will come out great after painting.
    Mr. Clean and Mr. Clean Magic erasers. Fantastic works well also.
    soapy water or water and vinegar
    Don't unless they are disgusting. Just use killz as your primer. It is amazing.
    there's this great invention called...are you ready?


    SOAP.
    Rob's right - sugar soap
    sugar soap, then wipe down with white vinegar and water, 50%

    They say wash the walls after you remove wallpaper.. how much scrubbing though?

    Do you want the wall to feel like sheetrock? Is it normal to have a lot of scrubbing? I've stripped the paper off with a steamer.. scraped off the backing.. now I just have primed wallboard behind it.They say wash the walls after you remove wallpaper.. how much scrubbing though?
    Sounds like you are ready to paint or apply new paper to me.





    As long as there are no lumps and a lot of glue residue, you are ready to go.





    Priming is an option, and might make for a better job.They say wash the walls after you remove wallpaper.. how much scrubbing though?
    The goal is to just get the sticky glue off the wall. Doesn't take too much scrubbing with a hot rag. Let it dry and prime away. Sounds like you are already there.
    there is a cleaner called TSP that works great! You can get it at almost any hardware store. It will remove all the residue left behind by the wallpaper. if you plan on painting the walls, all the residue must be off or your paint will seperate. then you will have a big mess on your hands! hope this helps
