How often should walls be washed?

I wash our walls four times a year. Dust can cling to a vertical wall in the tiny paint bumps etc. I would repaint personally. Plus, repainting will make everything seem bright and crisp, and could possibly inspire him to clean a bit better.

Personally I haven’t washed my own walls yet. I just painted all my rooms less than a year ago. But my grandmother is a heavy smoker so recenty I did wash her walls for her. I highly recommend the Mr.Clean Magic Eraser. It took the yellow stains right off without even having to scrub.

People wash walls? I had no idea. I’ll have to get cracking.

We are a non-smoking household, so washing walls is not as imperative as if we were smokers. I remember washing the walls when I was a kid (my parents were both smokers) and they were gross. The most that happens to my walls are finger prints from the kids, so my walls get spot washed when needed.

That is really good of you to help him out like that. I probably wash the walls once a year, depending on how dirty they are. Does he smoke and if so in the house? Then they’l probably need a repaint. If you crack on you could get them done in a few days, do it together with your dad, it will be good for bonding.

I never wash walls unless there’s a mark on them and then I will clean that area with Fantastick.

haha did not see “walls” on first glance

I give my walls a thorough washing at least twice a year, fall and spring. I use Mr. Clean and it really makes your home smell fresh. I am surprised with just me, a non-smoker, how much dirt you can get on your walls. I am sure elements from outdoors and running an air conditioner and furnace is where most of it comes from.

I wash the kitchen walls once every two months, and the rest of the house once a year.

I vacuum the walls in my house two or three times a year, and have them repainted about once every three or four years.
