White walls, how to clean? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

labrown · 10-11-2008, 11:03 AM

I've got a fairly new apartment, so of course it is that sterile hospital white color in every room. But after a year of living here, we are starting to notice marks made on the walls by chairs and things of the sort. What can I use to scrub my walls?

My mother put's alittle Bleach In a bucket with lots of water
But make sure it's not flat paint Because you can't wash that with anything.

I used to live in army houses and they had the same walls, didnt get many but some marks just came off easily with washing up liquid on a cotton cloth, but the more stubborn marks i used something like neat cream jif on a cloth......... or you could paint them another colour?

While in college, my daughter had a class where everyone had to do a presentation & promote a product. Well, one student did the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser & my daughter was convinced! Of course she convinced me too!

Works great for scuffs/marks on walls!

I also vouch for the Mr Clean Eraser. The best thing to clean marks off of walls with flat white paint. That thing is great!

I buy those things in bulk at Sam's Club and when I use one I go around the house looking for things to use it on.

Another thing it cleans well is white leather tennis shoes, gets all the scuffs off.

Ok these two things alone (not to mention the 10 other recommendations) have convinced me to buy one. Hairdye spots, impossible! And if anything will clean my white shoes I'll buy! Plus, I've got some acrylic paint stains on my counter I want to work at. I put the pups' paws in paint and let them walk on paper to get their prints, and Tina managed to step on the counter with a green paw.

Thanks everyone for the tips! I'll let you know how it goes!

I see someone already mentioned Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! I live by that thing. It's amazing! Just as good as the commercials, for once!
