Get rid of dust by using a clean cloth to wipe the walls. To remove stubborn dirt and cobwebs, you can make use of a soft bristled brush. You can also make use of a broom to clean the top area of the wall all the way down. Tape the brush to an extendable light bulb changer tool to reach the tops of the walls.
Prepare your cleaning solution by adding one teaspoon of mild liquid soap to a one gallon of warm water.
Fill another bucket with cool water for later use.
Line the bottom of the painted wall with rags so you will not have a messy floor once you start cleaning the wall with your water solution.
With a sponge, apply your cleaning solution from the top down. Work in small areas or in sections. If you start at the bottom, the dirty water from cleaning the top of the wall runs down the wall leaving streaks in the clean part.
After cleaning one section, rinse it with cool water from the second bucket then wipe clean with a fresh cloth.
Squeeze out excess water and continue working on section from top to bottom.
Using a clean towel, dry the section you just cleaned. Wipe the wall in a downward motion starting from the top. After drying a section of the wall, go on with the next and repeat the procedure until you clean the entire painted wall.
Replace towels once they get all soaked up.
For grease and hard to remove stains, you can always buy commercial products for cleaning walls. Make sure that you do not use abrasive solutions on your wall as it can damage painted surfaces. Avoid scrubbing to protect your wall from accidental chipping.
