    It helps if you hang onto the instructions. Here’s what to do if you can’t find them.
  • Wall, painted

    First, vacuum or dry-sponge walls. Wash if necessary with the following method.

  • Trisodium phosphate (TSP)

    An old standby that is still useful for cleaning walls and other surfaces.

    Use a vacuum cleaner occasionally to keep ahead of dust, grime and cobwebs.

    Expensive fluids or professional cleaning aren’t necessary. Try this.
  • Deck

    They need a physical exam yearly, just like you do.
