Cleaning Painted Walls
According to Sherwin-Williams, “You can’t stop walls from attracting dirt, but you can preserve their newly-painted beauty and extend the life of your paint with a few good cleaning habits. Check out our suggested resources and tips below for the best ways to clean painted walls.”
Supplies for This Project
- Vacuum cleaner with dust brush attachment
- Tack cloth/cheesecloth
- Wash bucket
- Mild household cleaner
- Grease-cutting dishwashing soap
- Baking soda
- Cloth rags
- Touch-up paint
- Plastic mixing container
- Mini paint roller and roller cover
- 2″ or 2½” angled bristle brush
Dusting
Regardless of paint type or sheen, regular dusting is in order. So before you do any washing, run the dust brush attachment of your vacuum over ceilings and walls, and wipe your walls down with a tack cloth or cheesecloth.
General Washing
Wait at least two weeks after painting before using any water or cleaner on your walls.
Typically it’s best to use a soft cloth or sponge with mild, soapy water.
Wipe by applying gentle pressure in a circular motion.
Rinse with a clean, damp cloth afterward to remove any leftover cleaner. Too much water can ruin your paint finish, so remember to thoroughly wring out your cloth.
Spot Cleaning
For spot cleaning a scuff mark or stain, try mixing a paste of baking soda and water instead of cleaner for walls.
Gently rub your solution over the problem area. Then rinse with a sponge. And dry with a soft cloth.
For hard-to-remove stains like grease splatters on kitchen walls, try a grease-cutting dishwashing soap mixed in warm water.
Follow the label instructions to make sure the cleaner won’t harm your paint finish.
Tip:It’s always a good idea to test your cleaning solution and technique to make sure it doesn’t damage your paint finish. Pick an inconspicuous spot on your wall to perform your test. If the paint still looks bright and there are no water marks left after drying, you’re good to go.
Touch-Up
Follow these guidelines for nicks or scrapes in your walls that require touch-up painting.
If possible, use paint from the original can. If you need to buy more, make sure it’s the same color and the same sheen.
If you’re touching up walls where the paint was originally applied with a roller, use a small trim roller. If the paint was originally brushed on, use a brush.
Apply a small amount of your touch-up paint and gently roll or feather-brush the area.
Yellow House
Michael Murphey’s song Yellow House says it’s the color of old sun beams, which is a good description of this recent project by Paint Doctor’s Painting Service. It’s warm, comfortable and inviting. The new paint really added to the house’s curb appeal. Call Mike at 541-497-3804.
Kestrel White
It’s hard to beat the classic color of a well tinted white like Kestrel White from Sherwin-Williams. This is one of those colors you can use throughout the house with no concerns about it going out of style. Are you considering changing furniture soon? Neutral wall colors are a great way to get the latitude you want so other décor will fit right in. Lasting beauty can be applied by our crew while you shop for your new look in wall coverings and furniture. Call us at 541-497-3804.

Yellow, A Happy Color is Calling
If you’re looking for a warm and inviting color for your home, yellow paint colors are a great choice. Yellow is associated with happiness and optimism, making it a perfect choice for areas like kitchens and living rooms. Pale yellow paint colors can create a sunny and cheerful atmosphere, while deeper shades of yellow can add a touch of sophistication. When deciding on the right yellow paint color for your space, consider what other colors will be used in the room.
Using yellow paint is like infusing your interior space with a drop of sunshine. Yellow adds an unmatched brightness and inner glow. Paler shades of yellow are perfect for nurseries. Brighter yellow paint colors are great for sun porches and kitchens.
Beige to Blue
Check out the big improvement of this house we transformed from a drab beige to a very appealing blue. The transformation goes well beyond the color change. We spent considerable time and care cleaning and preparing the surface. We handled loose paint, primed raw wood, sealed and caulked against weather damage.
Notice also the trim details that go well beyond the previous paint job and really bring out the original charm of the house design. We are scheduling exterior paint projects for the fast arriving season. Call Mike at 541-497-3804
Interior Gathering Spaces
If you build it, they will come. And if you carve out that space in a deep charcoal and envelope it in a rich burgundy, they will gather. Social nooks are places to find inspiration in friends and family and creative color choices can be just the thing to make it happen.
We’ll do the two tone walls and cabinets, you add the splashes. Call Mike 541.497.3804
November 2023 Color of the Month
According to Sherwin-Williams, Black Magic, the color of the month for November 2023, “casts a stylish spell as a bold and bewitching backdrop. This dark shade will leave you spellbound as it envelops your space in creative possibilities.”
Black Magic’s timeless and eternally relevant hue anchors the collection, as the play between its vibrant, supporting colors brings together the best of two styles.
