Wall Cleaner

1/4 cup borax
1 teaspoon ammonia
2 litres water
Dissolve the borax and ammonia in a bucketful of water. Scrub a really dirty wall from the bottom up. If you scrub from the top down, the dirty water will run down over the dry, soiled wall leaving hard-to-remove streaks. Oddly enough, it won't stain wet, clean walls. For textured walls, old socks are good scrubbers because they won't tear off in little pieces as easily as a sponge might. To keep water from dribbling down your arm, fasten an old washcloth around your wrist with a rubber band. This is for painted walls ONLY not wallpaper!
