How often do you clean your walls?

[Yas]

This is the most random thread iv'e started but how often do you clean your walls, or do you at all??
TIA

[MrsFabuloso]

Ummm...Never....do people really do that?? Is this one more thing I need to be cleaning...really????????

I spot clean when its needed but otherwise only if we're in a rental and moving out or when we sold our house.

[LionsandBears]

When i move into a house and when I move out (quick wipe then). Or when something gets spilled, though apart from the splashback in the kitchen, can't recall that ever happening

[Yas]

Oh, damn i don't think i'm winning this argument with DF....
My son is not allowed to touch the walls- but he always does, he's only 3 afterall We have stairs and he always balances on the walls because he's lazy lol.
I can't stand it, so i clean the walls every 2 weeks with sugarsoap.... Now that iv'e been sick and how pg i am it nearly kills me to do this, i asked DF if he would. He told me im obsessive compulsive and to get over it
I did downstairs and the stairs today, so maybe i'll just spot clean from now on
Thanks girls...

Clean + Walls in the same sentence? Not sure what you're on about

I spot clean mine but that's it. Unless we're painting then I wash them with Sugar Soap!

I just spot clean. Usually when DD's finger prints everywhere annoy me.. near the front door where people lean on the wall to put their shoes on etc. Other than that, we only clean all the walls before we move out as its a rental.

That being said.. nesting is seeing me wiping things over all the time. Random things..

[OceanPrincess]

Only if one of the ferals throws something on them, like milk, cereal, vegemite...

I use my floor Enjo. That probably doesn't help...

[Charlotte91]

Just a spot clean, mainly just the toilet or kitchen. With DD being so little and the house being old (stupid rental) I don't go mad.
I use the Pine-o-cleen wipes. They're also good for stuff that you can't get off the lino.

Waaay not often enough my walls are BAD! But if I did I think that's a great idea OceanPrincess.

[RainbowBrite]

Every three months when I have a rental inspection.

:Rofl:

I actually was quite proud in the fact that I did a wall today (The wall near the dining room seems to be a splashback from when the kids eat at the table *shudders* But it's all clean now, other then that I (and as i look around at my walls) they do need a clean but i CBF.

And windows - No one really does that do they?!?!?!

i look forward to when i live in a rental, that has WASHABLE PAINT on the walls. It's so disheartening, when you go to wash a wall (when there has been an accident), and the paint comes away as well.

Poorly ventilated houses and vapourisers and mould - there's an argument for wall washing that is very valid and not at all OCD.

i think most people don't NEED to clean their walls, because their homes are well ventilated, their dining tables are not near walls, and their walls have washable paint on them.

Walls are something you do, when it's apparent they need doing - to me. Whereas, things like light switches, door knobs, that get touched all the time - those i see as normal things to give a clean. But we're all different, if it makes you feel better Yas, that is your thing, who am i to tell you different. But i am guessing you have washable paint on your walls.

[Astrolady]

I would go over mine, from about half way up to the floor once a month with Jif and a damp cloth. We have wash 'n' wear paint. I have not done it in forever, and you can tell !! My walls are feral at the moment.

Yas- funny you should mention cleaning walls, I have been looking at mine for the last week thinking I should do them. I can be a little OCD with cleaning so I have been distracting myself. Now I know I'm not the only one I will be doing them. Not every week though.

I don't do them every week....well, i do the stairs every week but the others every 2-3 weeks?? I'm glad i'm not the only one either! I just can't handle looking at them though- it drives me crazy!

[Emma09]

My DH cleans them and my windows about every 6 months.
The easiest way to clean a wall- is to use a window washing thingy- you know the one with the sponge on one side and the squeegee on the other? The name escapes me at the moment.....
We work in the cleaning industry, this way is more effective and less time consuming.

My walls are ok- don't get me started on doors!
How hard is it to use a door handle?
Apparently extremely hard in this household!!!
