If your painted walls look scuffed and a little worse for wear, welcome to the club! But if you, like me, have fallen down the CleanTok rabbit hole of watching cleaning influencers use a tool typically used for floors on their walls, you might wonder: Is it safe to clean painted walls with a mop?
As someone who has recently tested over 15 of the best mops on the market (yes, this really is my job), I know that mops are way more versatile than they seem. While I use mine to clean my laminate floors, I’ve also used it to clean my windows and outdoor dining table. But I’ve always been wary of using a mop to clean walls without removing the paint.
