Easily Remove Scuffs From Your Walls With The Help Of A Cleaning Essential

You may not think your walls get very dirty, but if you look closely, you may just start to notice scuff marks, product residue, grime, crumbs, and more. These areas seem like they would be considered low-traffic, but in fact, walls can become covered in unwanted dust, possibly even affecting your allergies. With that being said, cleaning dirty walls should play a part in your weekly cleaning routine. You may notice your walls, particularly the lower halves, covered in small scuff marks, often caused by shoes, furniture, kids, pets, etc. Don't worry, as these marks aren't permanent. All you need is a simple cleaning essential you most likely already have at home: a microfiber cloth.

Even if you own a microfiber cloth or two, you might not know how to properly use these products so that they are as effective as possible. As you can probably guess from their name, microfiber cloths are made of fine synthetic fibers, typically nylon and polyester, and are more absorbent than cotton cloths or paper towels. This type of material uses split-fiber technology and is also positively charged, which means it is excellent at removing grease and dirt. When you use these cloths on your walls, you can easily remove even stubborn scuff marks in just a few minutes. 

Note that microfiber clothes can help to remove scuff marks, which are superficial marks left on smooth surfaces by contact with items like shoes and furniture. When using your microfiber cloth to remove scuff marks from your walls, you will want to slightly wet the cloth first, as this will help to scrub off the mark. For an extra cleaning boost, you can add a sprinkle of baking soda onto the cloth as well, or make a water-and-baking-soda paste and rub it into the affected area with the cloth. Make sure to wipe the baking soda or pasta off with a damp, clean cloth to ensure there isn't any residue leftover. 

To keep your microfiber cloths clean and durable, don't forget to try the simple layered folding trick, where you fold the cloth once, then over itself, and then over itself again, so you have eight usable sides. A lot of people make the mistake of exposing their microfiber cloths to high temperatures as well as not washing them regularly, both of which can decrease the product's overall lifespan. To wash your microfiber cloth after using it to clean your walls, separate from other fabrics and use the gentle cycle (avoid using fabric softener or dryer sheets), or hand wash in lukewarm water.
