Most spots and fingerprints can be removed from painted walls with a Mr Clean Magic Eraser or a good all-purpose cleaner. But always do a test spot first and don’t rub too hard or it may remove some of the paint. When repainting remember that the higher the paint sheen the easier it is to care for. For kids’ rooms, high gloss may be the best choice. If you must wash an entire wall or ceiling to prepare it for painting or just because, use a microfiber mop or a sponge mop for the large areas and then a sponge or cloth for the corners and edges. Avoid streaking by starting at the bottom and working upwards. Yep, seems counter intuitive, but trust me that’s the only way. Never try to spot clean a wall that has even a smidgen of grease on it, or you’re in for a world of hurt. Remove those nasty grease spatter spots from the wall behind the stove with a Dobie Pad and concentrated all-purpose cleaner or a Mr Clean Magic Eraser. For really heavy-duty grease, use Dow Bathroom Cleaner, wipe and rinse thoroughly right away. After the wall is clean, apply a generous coat of paste wax and those spots will come off with just a paper towel.
An art gum eraser will remove most spots and smudges from wallpaper. (Wallpaper is making a come back, you know!) For grease spots on wallpaper, rub gently with cornstarch or baby powder. Brush off after an hour or so.

This is the first mop that I’ve had that does some of the work for you because of its aggressive texture. I’m sold on these babies. I’ve never been happy with my mops (havent cared all THAT much honestly, I’m a single guy living in a quasi nice house but have a sparkling clean kitchen floor isnt that critical to me). But you know how it is, you walk down the cleaning supplies aisle every now and then and your eyes stumble over a newer mop design that looks like it would be better and you buy it hoping as much (again, for me, that happens every several years – not terribly frequently) – regardless I had built up a three mop collection over the years – none of them really cut the mustard (….stains on my floor teehee) But I am VERY happy with this one. I dont see how someone would be disappointed with this mop. One possibility is that it MAY dull a fancy finish. I don’t know a lot about vinyl flooring finishes but I could see how it could remove some of the more shiny, lustrous finishes over time – maybe. I say this because when I have used the sponges in the past on walls, I have noticed that they remove some paint as well – likely just the top most layer – nevertheless, this might be an issue – don’t know but I thought I’d mention it. If your vinyl floor manufacturer had specific maintenance instructions, you might wanna give them a call to see what they think of this product. for me, it rocks! 8 of 10 people found the following review helpful. 1) After you use the wringer to squeeze the water out of the mop, it takes a ridiculous amount of effort to snap it back onto the handle (and makes quite a noise). And this step isn’t optional: if you don’t snap it back onto the handle it flops on the floor as you continue mopping. 2) The curved top handle of the mop rotates. While this makes it easier to hang, it makes it very frustrating to use: to get any stability while you mop you have to position your top hand below the top handle, which means the mop handle doesn’t feel long enough. I’m only 5’5″ & feel like I have to stoop slightly while I mop – not fun. With a little more thought, they could have had a fine product, but as it is, I won’t be using this. |
Love this!
Disappointing
