Most office blocks nowadays have enhanced there beauty by placing wallpapers. This has made the work environment for most organizations in Kenya attractive. However with time this has proved to be a concern to some as most office cleaning services task do not cover such. For some offices in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret and Kakamega hiring a professional cleaning company has made office wallpaper cleaning a routine. Let us have a look at some of the options available to do this task.
Dusting with a broom
Find a cloth, preferably a micro fiber dusting cloth, and put it over a broom. Swipe the broom over the wall from left to right. This method will help you reach the dusty corners of your walls. Move the broom, clearing dust as you go, from the top of the wall to the bottom. You want to make sure that you leave no surface untouched.
If dust builds up on the floor, sweep it up.
Vacuum cleaning
Attach a wall brush extension to your vacuum before you start. Depending on the length of your extension, you may want to use a ladder to reach the higher spots of your wall. This extension will keep you from scratching your walls. Begin at the top of the wall and do a few sections at a time. Gently brush until you have completed the entire wall.
- As long as you don’t rub your vacuum on the wallpaper, you can generally use the vacuum on fabric wallpaper.
Dusting with a cloth
Wipe the walls directly with it. If your walls are high, you may want to get a step ladder in order to reach the corners. Start at the top and clear off the dust that you see. As you move down, make sure that your cloth has not become too dirty. A dirty cloth will smudge your walls.
Removing stains
Remove finger prints
Find an art gum eraser. With this eraser, gently rub at the wall. The eraser should absorb the oil and dirt left by fingerprints. If you have vinyl wallpaper, you can use soap and water to wash these prints away. Create a dish soap and water solution in a bowl. Put a cloth into the bowl to wet it. Then, use the cloth to wash the prints off the wall.
Remove grease spots
First, place paper towels over stains. Run a iron on a low heat setting over the paper towels. The grease should seep into the paper towels. Remove the towels to dislodge the stains.
- Talcum powder can also work. Pour talcum powder on a washcloth. Apply talcum powder onto the wall with the cloth. Let the powder sit for 10 minutes. Remove the powder from the wall with a dry sponge or brush.
Remove crayon marks
Use a putty knife and scrape away the excess crayon. Any loose bits that stick out should be ripped away. Once the surface is cleared, place paper towels over the stain. Now, press an iron set to its lowest heat on top of the stain. Wait for a minute, until the residual crayon seeps into the towels. Remove the towels and the stain should come off.
- If you have washable wallpaper, then you should spray a washcloth with the solution you used to clean the walls. Then, gently wipe the stains until they disappear.
