    Default What do you use to wash your walls?

    I have semi gloss paint on mine and am wondering what the best thing is to use on them to get them super clean.

    TIA!

    I just use a soft cloth and water - we have eggshell finish paint and that's all it takes.

    I always used spic and span mixed with water did a good job, I have a flat finish on my walls right now that doesn't wash very well. I can't wait to paint over them with a semi-gloss.
