A thorough cleaning of your ceiling and walls can really transform your home.
To get the best results, it’s recommended to start with the ceiling.
Here’s a simple guide on how to effectively make your ceiling look as good as new.
Is it time for a deep clean? A quick glance upwards in your home can often reveal the need for a thorough cleaning. Especially wooden ceilings can accumulate a surprising amount of dust, cobwebs, and other grime over time that requires special attention.
Step-by-step guide:
-
Remove dust and cobwebs: Start by removing loose dust and cobwebs with a good dust mop. This is important to ensure you’re not just spreading the dust around when you start washing.
-
Prepare a cleaning solution: Mix warm water with all-purpose cleaner in a bucket. The warmth of the water helps dissolve the dirt more effectively.
-
Wash the ceiling: Use a floor mop equipped with a clean mop head. Start in one corner of the ceiling and work systematically to ensure you cover the entire surface. Move the mop in smooth motions to avoid leaving streaks.
-
Dry the ceiling: After washing, you should dry the ceiling with a clean and dry mop head to remove any remaining dirty wash water that could otherwise leave stains.
Additional tips:
Drying is important: It’s essential to completely remove the dirty wash water, as it can dry and leave marks.
Be cautious with wooden ceilings: If your ceiling is made of wood, be particularly careful not to use too much water, as it can damage the wood.
Alternative method: Alternatively, you can use a regular wrung-out cloth for washing and then dry with a dry cloth afterward. This might take longer than using a floor mop but may be necessary for more delicate surfaces.
