Maids of Hartford Wall Cleaning Service
Spotless, Sparkling and Easy
​
The walls within your home adds to the overall cleanliness of your home. Seeing at a clean wall automatically improves the beauty and feel of your space. Between marks, scuffs, prints and dust, our walls can become dirty, unappealing and uninviting. This particular area of your home is very visible and if left neglected, can and will add to the weight of any room. When I say "weight", it's a feeling. This feeling can be overwhelming, clustered and even stressful. It definitely doesn't help to alleviate any frustration, improve your productivity or create a tranquil space.
Maids of Hartford Wall Cleaning Service is recommended for walls with the following condition:
​
-
Sound Paint: The paint should be in good condition, not peeling, chipping, or flaking. Cleaning can cause further damage to deteriorating paint.
-
Minimal Stains: Light to moderate stains, including grease, dirt, fingerprints, and scuff marks, are typically manageable with proper cleaning techniques.
-
No Structural Damage: The wall should be free of structural issues like cracks, holes, or water damage, as these require repair rather than cleaning.
-
Appropriate Paint Type: Walls with washable paint, such as semi-gloss, satin, or eggshell finishes, are easier to clean than those with flat or matte finishes.
​
Types of Paint and Their Cleanability
​
-
Semi-Gloss and Gloss:
-
Cleanability: Highly washable and resistant to moisture, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas.
-
Cleaning Method: Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth or sponge.
-
-
Satin and Eggshell:
-
Cleanability: Moderately washable and more resistant to stains than flat paint. Suitable for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms.
-
Cleaning Method: Use a gentle cleaner like mild dish soap and water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
-
-
Flat and Matte:
-
Cleanability: Less washable and more prone to staining. Best for low-traffic areas like ceilings and adult bedrooms.

Cleaning Method: Use a very gentle approach with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner. Test a small area first to ensure no damage.

Conditions Where Cleaning May Be Challenging
​
-
Heavy Grease Accumulation:
