Are Your Walls Due for a Cleaning? The No Rinse, Homemade Cleaner for One of the Worst Jobs in the House

Its come to this, the last stalling tactic on the earth, the internet. We have come here to look for an easy solution for a job that everyone dreads, cleaning the walls. Well have no fear, I promise you this will make that nasty job so much easier. All it takes are a few simple items and your walls will look better in no time!

First you need to understand, this method you MUST clean the walls from the bottom up! A wet wall will allow the solution to run down without streaking. However if you want to make it harder on yourself, go ahead and start at the top, but heed my warning... This will cause dirt streaks on your dry wall that you will have to scrub on for what will seem like an eternity, all the while you will be smacking yourself on the head mumbling 'I just should have listened...'

Okay, I promised you a no rinse, homemade cleaner, so here is the recipe.
1 Cup Borax (can be found in most stores by the laundry deteregent, also known as the 20 mule team)
1/2 Cup distilled vinegar
1/4 Cup amonia
2 gallons hot water

I will give you a few more tips to make it even easier yet! Honestly, I hate cleaning, as we all do, so every time saving technique I have come across has been put to excellent use!

Invest in a squegee with a sponge side! These can be found at almost every dollar store now days. No more sitting on the floor scrubbing, or needing a chair to reach the top of the walls. (unless you have cathedral ceilings that is) You are only going to use the sponge side of it to scrub the walls, remember, I said it was a no rinse, easier way!

If you don't like to change the water all the time, have a second bucket to rinse your cleaning utensil in after each scrubbing. This will keep your cleaning solution clean. I can easily do a couple rooms before the water gets cold, which is the only reason I end up having to make a new batch of it.
