I read a few of the tips on washing walls but still had a question or two. Can I use a mixture of water with either bleach or sunlight dish soap? How much should I use? I have the worst luck washing walls! My mother used to use Tide. Her walls were fine, but I am thinking I used too much Tide? I tried the mop idea before too, but it left a worse mess than I had in the first place. :-( I really don't like the idea of ammonia either. Any advice would be helpful.

I use a spray bottle. I use a solution of 2 tbs of alcohol(this helps the walls dry faster) then half water, half vinegar. I wipe the walls with a damp sponge, then mist the walls with the vinegar solution. Then wipe again with the sponge. I keep the sponge rinsed out and damp only. It may seem like double work to wipe first but if your walls are really dusty you could get rivers of dirt if you don't wipe first. I use this solution on all my walls, they vary from painted, papered and wood. Good luck.

buy a tried and true product called TSP ask for it
in home depot, lowes or stores like that it does not
cost much and it WORKS. my girlfriend smoked and walls had a tar coating sticky and yucky ....she never opened windows.
After trying different products, I have gone back to the one from my early years of marriage, Mr. Clean. I use it on the woodwork, walls, in my mop water, in the showers, etc.
We have just recently moved back in our home after hurricane Florence. Our paneled walls were awfully dirty along with our painted walls. After using a soft bristle broom I wiped all the walls down with Mr.clean antibacterial summer citrus our walls are clean and house smells wonderful
I use a wet swiffer. There is no mess and it smells good.
Hello, I'm new and I saw your post.
I use the new Mr Clean Magic Erasor sponges.
It's white and you just wet it down with water. It works like magic. However they do wear out pretty fast.
For white walls, I use bleach in water and a rag. You will literally see the tar run off the walls.
