Ingredients
  • ½ tsp. of Borax
  • 1 tsp of Baking Soda
  • ½ cup of hot water
  • (Please note, this is to make a shallow bowls worth to clean one small room, you can increase the amount if you wish to have this in a spray bottle for anytime use as well!)
Instructions
  1. First, place the ½ tsp. of Borax in a shallow bowl.  Then pour the hot water on top and mix with a fork, spoon or whisk until dissolved.
  2. Then add the 1 tsp. of baking soda and mix until all powder is dissolved and the water is nearly clear in color
  3. Then using a sponge, start cleaning away!
Here's a few tips for cleaning:
  1. • In my experience with my homemade wall wash, here's what it will do very well:
  2. ◦ General wall cleaning
  3. ◦ Lead pencil marks
  4. ◦ Food
  5. ◦ Other easy marks
  6. • Here's what you will probably need to put a little elbow grease into to get it out all of the way:
  7. ◦ Crayon
  8. ◦ Colored Pencil
  9. ◦ Pens
  10. ◦ Markers
  11. ◦ Tougher Marks
  12. • If you have really tough stains, pull out the Magic Eraser for that spot or apply undiluted baking soda to a wet sponge and scrub directly on the spot for that spot only as this seems to work well! Don't scrub too hard that you scrub the paint off!
Notes
Please note, this has tested to be gentle on my light and dark colored walls at my house without removing any paint. BUT we suggest you test a small hidden area first to be sure that it will be the same on your walls too!
