Dust and grime love to settle into textured surfaces. Begin by cleaning well<\/strong> using a vacuum with a brush attachment or a soft-bristle brush. In areas with grease, wash with a mild soap and water mix.<\/p>\nThe roller you choose matters.

Avoid foam rollers<\/strong>, as they skim over raised areas instead of covering them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Remove outlet covers and switch plates, storing screws in labeled bags. For small dents or holes, use your finger to apply spackle or joint compound<\/strong>, blending repairs into the texture.<\/p>\n
