XP: Cleaning up the kitchen
I posted this on the cleaning board but figured you ladies might have some experience with the same problem I have. I was on a tear cleaning the kitchen today and this issue came up again. DH and I live in a parsonage, and as such we frequently
inherit challenges in parsonages that the church(es) provide. Case
in point: our current parsonage has a dated kitchen that has painted
walls. The paint is just a flat white, and whenever I try to remove
cooking stains or splatters (mine or inherited), I remove the paint, and
that's just with water and a soft sponge! Any ideas how to safely
clean the walls without making it worse? Or is it just a case of
needing to either repaint altogether or install back splashes (never
happen, but a girl can dream)? Thanks!
Re: XP: Cleaning up the kitchen
Flat paint is just not durable...it is the nature of the beast.
There are some newer, somewhat expensive matte finish paints that are very durable and clean easily, but if you had that on your wall you wouldn't be having a problem.
