How to wash washable painted walls

10 replies

Just moved into new house and painted the whole house in dulux washable paint. What is the best product thing for gentle cleaning. Not sure a damp microfiber cloth is the right thing as they tend to leave dust on the walls that I then struggle to get off.

Warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth.

A dishcloth dunked in a warm sink of fairy liquid.

I'm meaning more for spot cleaning.

Fabric conditioner on a clean sponge or kitchen towell

It’s great for spot cleaning too especially since it doesn’t damage existing paint. I keep a ready made spray bottle of the stuff in my kitchen for sticky handprints, shoe scuff marks (teens tend to just fling shoes).

Forgot to say water it down.

Thank you I'll try that.
