For decades I've read that when washing walls, start at the bottom,
and I've never understood it.

Now I have to wash a wall, and I need someone to explain it to me, to
convince me that that is the proper way.

Seems to me if you start at the bottom and get it clean, there will be
dirt running down the wall onto the clean part as soon as I get the
part above it wet. And I'll have to clean the bottom parts over and
over again.

Helpful advice appreciated.


Why wash it at all? Just paint right over it. No one will be the
wiser.

Hell all this time i thought we were talking about exterior walls and
pressure washers. WHY the hell would you "wash" an interior wall?


Raised any kids lately? Ever tried repainting a heavily-used kitchen in
any house, or any wall in a house with smokers, without doing a
scrub-down first?

Just sayin'
