Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Wisk or Surf
  • 3/4 cup ammonia

Instructions

  1. Add 1/2 cup of Wisk or Surf and 3/4 cup of ammonia to a pail of hot water.
  2. Use the solution to wash off walls.
  3. Your walls won't need to be rinsed and will shine.

Tips & Substitutions

For optimal cleaning, ensure the ammonia and detergent are mixed well in hot water, as this enhances the cleaning power. If you don’t have Wisk or Surf, any liquid laundry detergent will work as a substitute. Always wear gloves to protect your skin and ensure the area is well-ventilated. For tough stains, allow the solution to sit for a few minutes before wiping.

Serving Suggestions

This cleaner works wonders on painted walls and can be used on various surfaces. For best results, pair your cleaning session with a refreshing snack like a Fruit Platter Salad to maintain your energy. After cleaning, consider enjoying a cup of Justin’S Hot Chocolate to unwind.

Storage & Reheating

This cleaning solution is best used fresh and should not be stored for later use due to the volatile nature of ammonia. If you have leftover solution, it’s recommended to dispose of it safely. Always label any containers if you're transferring it, and never mix it with other cleaning products.
