Housekeeping advice: Keep your white walls clean

White walls look amazing - they are minimalistic, they add light and make your room feel more spacious.

Meanwhile, they can get dirty very quickly - for instance, if you have pets or small kids, you need to clean your walls regularly.

Here are a few tips on how to do it without ruining your walls.

Pick the right supplies

Get a few things ready, like a bucket, mild soap (dish soap works too), a sponge or soft cloth, and some clean water.

Dusting goes first

Use a duster or a dry cloth to gently wipe off any loose dust or dirt. This makes the cleaning process easier.

Add soap to water

In your bucket, mix a small amount of mild soap with water. Don't make it too soapy; just a little soap is enough.

Start with a small area

Before cleaning the entire wall, test your soapy water on a small, inconspicuous spot to make sure it doesn't damage the paint.

Don't be too harsh

Dip your sponge or cloth into the soapy water, wring it out so it's not too wet, and gently wipe the dirty areas of the wall. Start from the bottom and work your way up to avoid streaks.

Wipe it out

Use a separate clean, damp cloth or sponge to wipe off the soapy residue. Rinse it well and wring it out before wiping the wall again.

Let them dry

After you've cleaned the wall, let it air dry or use a clean, dry cloth to pat it dry.

Conclusion

Cleaning white walls is all about being gentle and careful, because harsh chemicals and movements can destroy your white walls. 

Clean them regularly, and your interior will look amazing at any moment!
