Can I use the Spray Mop on walls and vertical surfaces?Updated 3 days ago
TL;DR: Yes. The Spray Mop works vertically on walls, doors, tiles, skirting boards and cupboard fronts. Spray lightly, use gentle pressure, and always spot test painted surfaces first. For more precise control on paint, switch to the Atomiser Spray Bottle.
Can I use the Spray Mop on walls and vertical surfaces?
✓ Works on
Painted walls, doors and door frames, skirting boards, tiles and splashbacks, cupboard fronts and wardrobes. Ideal for general wash-downs, end-of-tenancy cleans and clearing everyday dust and marks.
⚠ Take care on delicate finishes
Best for light to moderate cleaning rather than heavy scrubbing. On delicate or freshly painted walls, take extra care and avoid over-saturating the surface. Drips run downward and can leave streaks on painted finishes.
How do I use the Spray Mop vertically?
✓ Four steps
Less spray is more on vertical surfaces. Drips run downward and show up as streaks on painted finishes.
1 Spot test first. Pick an inconspicuous area, especially on painted surfaces, before working across the whole wall.
2 Mist lightly. Use the trigger sparingly, or mist Universal Cleaner onto the mop pad before placing it on the surface.
3 Smooth motions. Gentle pressure, upward or downward strokes. Avoid scrubbing back and forth on painted finishes.
4 Wipe over if needed. Go over painted walls with clean water to remove any cleaner residue and prevent streaks.
Is there a better tool for painted walls?
✓ For more control on painted walls
Atomiser Spray Bottle applies a fine mist of Universal Cleaner, using far less liquid per spray than the mop trigger. That keeps painted finishes from being over-wetted, which is what causes drips and runs in the first place.
A weighted ball inside the dip tube means it sprays at any angle, even upside down, so the top of a wall or the underside of a shelf is easy to reach. Pair it with a microfibre cloth for the actual wipe-down.
