Hi. It's Lisa here from Active Domestics and today I'm going to be washing these
walls. This is in one of my bathrooms downstairs, and it's the original paint
work in this house both inside and out was cream walls with green trims. Now I
am slowly changing that to some white trims and white walls and anyway this is
the time for this bathroom to get a bit of attention. So I've already sanded the
the frames, the green frames and the green trims but what I have to do now
is actually wash the walls and I'm also going to be washing the ceiling as well
and I just wanted to show you actually how quick and easy that can be. Now you
will notice you can probably see cobwebs up there on the light fitting. When we
get the ladders out and bring them in for the painting stage you will be
taking that down and giving it a good wash then so I'm going to be avoiding
that area a little bit but apart from that I am just going to show you how you can
easy it is with of course, my favourite flat mop. This one here I've got from
Bunnings for about Australia at AUD $45 or $40 something like that and it's
quite good because you can flip it around now I've just you can't see over
there but I've got the sink filled up with some sugar soap and hot water and
that's what I dipped this in and then I've squeezed it out now I'm going to give it a wipe..
So they are good here because you can get right up to the edges
Now it's pretty cold here today hence my "beanie" but that's why I don't mind
doing this work today because it's cold. It can warm me up...you can get right into the corners..
I also get easily up into the places you would normally need a ladder for.
You can see how quick that was, hey?
I'll get into the shower later and deal with that bit.
With this one like I said I can flip it over and get to a cleaner side
As for the ceilings.. I just start here... there goes that..
So there you go. It's not hard and it's only taken a couple of minutes to get
all of that done. Anywhere that I feel needs a little bit of extra attention
I'll do by hand but I'll be going over this again because I'm one of these
people that, if I'm going to put all the effort into actually painting then I
want to really do the prep work really well so the paint job looks as good as
possible and I'm the one who actually does all the painting in this house and
I've actually painted in totally and and the outside that house as well. So yes
it warms you up and help gets the heart beat racing a bit but it's a lot better because you've
got a wide surface area. I'm not standing on any ladders I'm not reaching I'm I'm
not going to slip. You know it's so much better using these things when you are
cleaning hard-to-reach places. So thank you for watching and have fun cleaning
your walls! See ya x
