Recipe for No-Rinse Wall Cleaner

Tom Ross

The frequency with which walls are cleaned is determined by the circumstances in the home. A couple, living alone, may need to clean walls once each season while a family with young children needs to do so much more often. Regular cleaning removes stains before they set in and become permanent. The walls may look clean but they brighten up the room when they are cleaned on a regular basis.
