This Reader Created Her Own DIY Wall Cleaner
Need a Magic Eraser?
Cleaning walls can beonlinee a literal nightmare! Whether your kiddos decided to use the wall as a canvas or it just looks dirty, the tedious task of cleaning your wall is something no one looks forward to. Lucky for us, this week’s Happy Friday reader Varsha created a homemade wall cleaner that removed a huge mess!
Hip Tip: Before embarking on cleaning your whole wall with this tip, you may want to test it on an inconspicuous area first as some paint finishes (like flat paint!) can be left with marks after scrubbing them.
I have little ones who have made a onlineplete mess on my wall using pencils, pens, crayons, and pretty much anything else you could think of. Because of this, my husband and I would spend around $5 on magic eraser products.
Instead of continuing to spend this, I decided to try to make something similar homemade.
To make it, I use one spoonful of dish soap and mix it with some water. I used a sponge, and I’m still so surprised at how well it cleaned my walls. It’s so simple that I’ll never buy a magic eraser product again!
Varsha, thanks for the cleaning Hip tip! This is going to go a long way for a bunch of us, especially those with little ones. Those wall art projects are no match for this home cleaner!
