Guide to Cleaning
Interior Walls
1. Put on PPE and assemble all of the equipment to be used. Place warning signs at the extremes of the work area. Consider covering electrical sockets with masking tape.
2. Place plastic sheeting next to wall, if required. If applicable, remove furniture or cover with dust covers.
3. Erect access equipment, if required
4. Use a soft brush, cobweb brush, broom or vacuum brush attachment to dust down the wall. This should be completed extensively before attempting to clean the surface, removing any debris that could potentially stain once cleaning solution has been applied to the surface.
5. Prepare Cleaning Solution according to instructions. Cleaning should be carried out from top to bottom in order to avoid lower areas being splashed with dirty cleaning solutions. The notable exception to this is when walls are washed.
7. Remove marks or stains before attempting the entire wall. It is recommended that you always test an inconspicuous area to check the cleaning solution will not damage the paintwork.
8. One of the simplest and effective way to remove wall marks is the
Erase All Sponge.
9. Ventilate the area and apply cleaning solution to the wall with cloth, sponge or trigger spray, working from bottom to top. Allow a short time for the cleaning agent to work, then rinse-wipe the wall from top to bottom to leave the wall as dry as possible.
10. Use side-to-side overlapping strokes, working in small manageable areas. Remove drips and runs as they occur.
11. On completion, dismantle access equipment. Clean equipment and check for safety. Return all equipment, materials and warning signs to store and store safely and securely.
