I use the 1/2 cup borax, warm water, teaspoon of Blue Dawn. No I didn't rinse my walls after I was done. This is a good wall cleaner and I use it every time I wash my walls. Just make sure you use BLUE DAWN. I just use a regular size bucket. I use the 1/2 cup borax, warm water, teaspoon of Blue Dawn. No I didn’t rinse my walls after I was done.

Rest of the house once a year. I use 1/2 cup borax, bucket of really warm water, 1 teaspoon of Dawn BLUE Dishwasher detergent. Blue Dawn is the BEST for cutting grease. I wash my windows with pure distilled white vinegar. Leaves the windows shiny and streak free. I wash my walls in the kitchen twice a year. Rest of the house once a year.

My early-20 kids think I'm weird for washing every wall in our home top to bottom at minimum once a year but preferably twice. How many times a year do you wash all walls top to bottom? I'm not talking about cleaning up traffic areas. Am I weird? My early-20 kids think I’m weird for washing every wall in our home top to bottom at minimum once a year but preferably twice.

I use it on vinyl floors with warm water. I also use white vinegar and water for a window cleaner. Great wall cleaner is 1/2 cup borax, mixed bucket of warm water and 1 tsp. blue dawn dish soap. I like blue dawn the best. It also is great getting rid of grease on clothes. There is something in blue dawn that the other dawn products don't have. Also keep a spray bottle under your kitchen sink with water and vinegar. Great for wiping up the blood from meat and handling poultry. White vinegar does leave your home smelling fresh and clean. All natural product. Can't be beat! White vinegar is a mild disinfectant. I use it on vinyl floors with warm water. I also use white vinegar and water for a window cleaner.

They are dark colored walls. I am not sure if I should clean them differently. I am using Mr. Clean for wash and then clean rinse water then dry. Any other advise. I did buy some Awesome but not sure about using it. I am cleaning walls that are not white. They are dark colored walls. I am not sure if I should clean them differently.

I've had the best results by using the GEL version of "Shout" laundry pre scrub. I apply the gel to a sponge dampened with HOT water, and scrub the wall in circular motions. (The sponge should be wet enough to make "bubbles" but not dripping wet.) Then rinse sponge with HOT water & wipe off wall area. The "Shout" eats the grime up, and leaves a sparkling clean wall & a great scent in the room!

If the walls are terrible, then you need to add more than a pinch or splash. You need: *A bucket sponge mop and regular sponge *Hot Water (Don't burn yourself!) *2 Cups of Original Scent Pine Sol I would first pour uncut ammonia in a spray bottle and spray the walls down. I would then scrub hard spots. Then I would use the Original Scent Pine Sol mixture and dunk my mop in there, squeeze the access water out - and go to work. After the walls are completely dry, "eye" the walls. Go back with your ammonia filled spray bottle and go over any other visible spots. After you let the room air out, eye the room one more time. Quick tip: On occasions, wipe down the walls with Pine Sol to keep the walls fresh and clean. The smell is sensational. Don't be afraid to use a large amount of the Pine Sol. If you don't like the smell, use the Lemon. People always use a “pinch” or a “splash” of a cleaning product. If the walls are terrible, then you need to add more than a pinch or splash.

Dampen the area to be cleaned without doing a lot of scrubbing yet. Go back to the area after a little while and the dirt will be easier to scrub off. Don't forget to rinse with clean water, especially prior to painting. Cleaning product residue will attract dirt. Give your cleaning solution a little time to work.

The Awesome cleaner that you get for a buck at any dollar store is the most amazing cleaner that I have ever seen. It will take any grime off of anything. Why spend a fortune on anything else when this stuff is terrific. I so totally agree with Elaine.
