I emptied my garage today. The walls and ceiling were covered in cobwebs. I use my garage for woodworking projects, so many were laced with saw dust.

I used a long handled brush. There were a few grubby oil hand prints, which I cleaned with a cloth, hot water with a little organic Castile soap. I also used a scrubbing brush for window frames. There’s a lot of paint and the frames are plastic which has deteriorated, so they’re not as clean as an indoor window, but good enough for a garage workshop.

Here are my pictures

I cleaned the walls and rafters in our living room, that has a vaulted ceiling. We have a popcorn ceiling so I just cleaned the rafters and wood framing.

I only used water and the Norwex wet mop/ Norwex envirowand. The envirowand can be put on the mop handle and the handle extended to reach my high ceilings.

I've lived in this house for 7 years and never cleaned the walls/ceiling, so it was needed!
