Question

Hi all, we're looking at getting our house ready to hand back to the landlord. What are your best hints, tips, cleaning products etc for cleaning the walls and skirting boards? Thanks

Answer 1

Sugar soap

Answer 2

Flash works well, personally would avoid sugar soap as if not diluted properly can make paintwork worse

Answer 3

If you can, hire a professional.

Helen, I'd love to, not sure they would fit in with our budget though :/

Answer 4

I wash walls, skirtings with washing conditioner & loadsa water & ring out cloth, but dont know about red walls !

Penny, might have to try and paint that one to match the others. It's only the chimney breast which is that colour  

Answer 5

Weak sugar soap in as hot water as you can stand

Answer 6

When I handed my last flat back I just cleaned all skirting boards and doors with warm soapy water. We repainted some walls in the same colour as some of them had pen on and a wax splat (oops! )
