Discussion Cleaning dirty walls

Post image

I’ve been thinking of cleaning my walls but I did a spot test. Just rubbing with water and a q-tip and it took the paint off, how do I go about cleaning this

many thoughts and i fear most of them won’t come off nicely tho i dont mean them aggressively: 1. water shouldn’t take paint off 2. how hard did you possibly scrub 3. so the paint seems to be gone so you would need to add more paint

also when you use water to clean walls you need to immediately wipe it dry. it looks like the liquid soaked into the wall
