Instructions

    • 1

      Clear any cobwebs before beginning.

    • 2

      To avoid constantly moving a ladder around the room, try using a clean mop to reach the ceiling. Make sure the handle is long enough to easily reach the ceiling. Adjustable length mops are available.

    • 3

      Be careful when choosing a cleaner. The material is likely to fall on you so don't use anything that will be harmful to the skin or eyes.

    • 4

      Lay down a drop cloth. Gravity will be working against you and drips are likely.

    • 5

      Starting in one corner, work your way around the room. Once you have gone a few feet, rinse the mop.

Tips & Warnings

  • If the ceiling is extremely dirty, you may be happier with a new coat of paint. Simply mopping the ceiling may not be enough to get it completely clean.
