Cleaning Painted Gyprock Walls
Hey Guys,
Painted gyprock internal walls, not filthy dirty but normal wear & tear and well overdue for a clean.
What's the best cleaner to use?
Cheers

2nd sugar soap. And I always wash previously painted walls with sugar soap before I repaint.

3rd Sugar soap. The more expensive brands are better than the cheapies ( SWMBO has decreed). Yesterday I bought two Selleys bottles and one Monarch (contains mould remover).

Lots of elbow grease with a good dash off your favourite Sugar soap, really hard stains try cleaning Vinegar.
Cheers Matt.

Thanks guys.
I did think of sugar soap but wondering if it'd be too harsh for painted walls but it seems not - woolies sell the Selleys so I shall get a bottle.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
