How To Repaint Your Home Walls

Painting your house is quite expensive, tiring and messy. However, it is important to keep the walls clean and looking fresh.

We have a few simple, yet effective tricks up our sleeves to clean the mess off your walls.

Dust the walls. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean designs or corners. Be gentle though.
Oil based wall paints can be easily cleaned. Create a mixture of one bucket of warm water and half a cup of Vim dishwash soap. Using a sponge, gently clean the walls with the solution.
Identify stains and marks on your walls. If there are dirt marks, clean the wall with a solution of one cup of vinegar in a bucket of water and scrub it with a sponge.
For stubborn stains caused due to furniture, make a paste of 3 parts of bicarb soda and one part of water. Apply the paste on the stains and wipe with a dry cloth or sponge.

You don’t need to paint your house every year unless it is severely damaged. Remember to be gentle with the scrubbing.
