Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage your paint and leave marks behind. It’s also wise to avoid dyed sponges as fabrics, which may deposit some of their color as you clean. Lastly, as you're cleaning, be sure to swap out your water often so you don’t have any lingering marks or dullness from dirty water.

Cleaning the walls before a paint job is essential for a flawless paint job, and doing the prep work yourself may cut your total costs. Use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and a soft cloth for the application. You’ll need to allow plenty of time for the walls to dry before painting, so aim to wipe down the walls 24 hours or more before your painter arrives.

While fumigation chemicals cannot pass through solid objects, they will seep into any openings in walls, doors, or other closed spaces. This allows them to get into tight places where pests may be hiding and causing damage, like termites ruining the foundation of your home. It also means that your home needs to ventilate for 48 hours before returning to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain in your space. 

Many types of mold spores and fungi spores are constantly present in the air, but they need a friendly surface and moisture to grow. Should some of these spores land on paper or wood with significant moisture present—such as drywall with a paper cover that is soaking up water from a leak—mold or fungi could begin growing. Dampness from leaky pipes, condensation on windows, leaks in a roof, flooding in a basement, or high, prolonged humidity in a small area all can create the excess moisture that mold and fungi need to grow in your home.
