How do you wash indoor paint? |
|
I need to clean some walls. Soap and water or is there a chemical that will do it better?

1. TSP...tri sodium phophate works.. |
|
it's very strong, but effective...can get same effect using strong Spic and Span...wear gloves...may clean too well...but good for prep if you are repainting

3. glossy paint, that's easy. FLAT paint, you're screwed. You'll just drag |
|
the dirt inbetween the paint grains. The cheaper the flat paint, the worse you'll just smear stuff around. It's awful.

4. Awesome at the Dollar Store |
|
It's yellow and it works great. It's either called Awesome or Amazing. If your walls are really bad, you'll need to go over them twice. And sometimes a quality green scratchy pad for tough kitchen spots.
