When most homeowners think of cleaning their home, the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, windows, and doorknobs come to mind. One more area needs regular, scheduled cleaning, yet homeowners often overlook this important area of the home. What is this often-neglected area? The walls. Clean walls can significantly impact the look and feel of a home, business, or office. SERVPRO of Lakeway/Westlake is proud to offer professional ceiling, floor, and wall cleaning.

Why Walls Need Cleaning

Walls typically do not show dirt, grime, dust as conspicuously as the floor, cabinets, upholstery, or carpeting, especially if the wall patterns are busy and function like camouflage for fingerprints and smudges.

Ceilings and walls are exposed to a wide array of contaminants such as dust and dirt, pet dander, cooking oils and grease, cigarette smoke, and other substances. Some household cleaners used to clean walls can leave a soapy residue that serves to attract tiny particles and dust. The heating and air conditioning system can distribute these contaminants throughout a home or business. The walls and ceilings will collect their fair share of the minute debris.

How to Know if Walls Need Cleaning

Perform a test by taking a damp paper towel and rubbing it over a section of the wall. The paper towel will pick up a layer of dust, dirt, and grime. The wall did not look dirty, but the proof is on the paper towel. The truth is that the walls will hold on to filth. Whether a wall is smooth, textured, painted, or wallpapered, dirt and grime stick on the wall and stay there. Homeowners who are health conscious need to give the walls the attention needed to keep that area of the home clean, beautiful, and healthy.

The Benefits of Clean Walls

Clean walls make a difference in a home or business.

#1. Clean walls contribute to a healthy home environment.

The most significant reason to clean the walls of a home, office or place of business is to make sure the areas are healthy and sanitary. Clean walls ensure higher air quality and reduce the germ population. A clean environment is essential, especially during times such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

#2. Clean walls improve appearances.

Dirty walls and ceilings can leave a negative impression on house guests, employees, customers, clients, or patients. In the workplace, office, or practice, appearances are crucial. Clean walls convey professionalism, attention to detail, and an inviting atmosphere.

#3. Clean walls are more functional and last longer.

Walls that are painted or wallpapered can develop a buildup of dirt, dust, grime, grease and oil, nicotine, and soap residue from past cleanings. The buildup can shorten the life expectancy of the wall covering.

The Benefits of Clean Ceilings

Ceiling and wall cleaning should be included in the cleaning maintenance of every home or business. Interior walls and other surfaces to be painted should be cleaned so that the primer and paint adhere properly.
