Instructions:
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: In a small bucket or bowl, mix one tablespoon of dish soap with a cup of warm water. Add one tablespoon of white vinegar to the mixture.
Apply the Solution: Dip a soft sponge or cloth into the cleaning solution. Wring out any excess liquid and gently scrub the oily spots on the walls.
Tackle Stubborn Oil: For areas with tough oil stains, sprinkle a little baking soda directly onto the sponge or cloth. Scrub these spots in a circular motion to lift the oil.
Wipe Clean: Once the oil is removed, wipe the walls with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining residue from the cleaning solution.
Dry the Wall: Use a dry cloth to wipe down the wall to prevent any watermarks from forming.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Once the walls are clean, you can use a gentle air freshener or essential oils to make your kitchen smell fresh.
Store leftover cleaning solution in a spray bottle for future use. Be sure to shake it well before applying.
Variations:
For a more natural approach, you can replace the dish soap with castile soap or a few drops of essential oils like lemon or tea tree oil.
You can also use a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda if vinegar isn’t available.
