Wet Wall/Ceiling Care (Per room, without vacuum)
Even after the heavy construction dust is vacuumed away, newly painted walls and ceilings can harbor a stubborn, invisible layer of environmental film. In spaces like kitchens or living areas, fine drywall dust mixes with airborne cooking oils and humidity to create a sticky, dulling residue that clings to vertical surfaces. Standard dry dusting is powerless against this hybrid grime, and attempting to wash the walls with a generic wet sponge will only smear the grease, leaving permanent watermarks and destroying the matte finish of your expensive new paint.
The real danger lies in using the wrong moisture levels or harsh chemicals on fresh drywall and architectural finishes. Amateur cleaners often oversaturate the walls, causing the drywall paper to swell or the paint to blister. Furthermore, trying to scrub away construction scuffs or oily contractor handprints with abrasive pads will cause irreversible paint burnishing, creating shiny, ruined spots that force you to repaint the entire wall. You need a highly systematic, chemically balanced wet-cleansing approach that lifts the sticky film and scuffs without compromising the structural integrity of the paint.
Our protocol approaches wall restoration as a specialized detailing service rather than a simple scrub. Executed by a coordinated two-person team for maximum efficiency and safety, we begin with a full ceiling damp-wipe and a systematic top-to-bottom wall washing using specialized microfiber systems and neutral solutions. We deploy Stain and Spot Treatment to safely dissolve contractor scuffs and oily handprints. In high-traffic zones, we focus heavily on Grease Removal, breaking down the bonded airborne oils around kitchens and dining areas without chemically burning the clear coat or paint layer.
To ensure an absolutely flawless result, our team performs meticulous fixture edge detailing, carefully cleaning around mounted lights and vents where grime hides. We conclude the process with a secondary Microfiber Buffing, a strict dry-pass that completely eliminates moisture and leaves a pristine, streak-free matte finish across all surfaces. Every completed room is followed by digital photo documentation to guarantee our rigorous standards were met. Your time is far too valuable to spend your afternoon exhausted, trying to scrub stubborn scuffs off your ceiling. Start managing the chaos.

Our Approach
- 1
Surface Testing
The team of two inspects the paint finish (e.g., semi-gloss, satin, or gloss) to ensure it is moisture-tolerant. We perform a discreet spot test to ensure no pigment transfer or "burnishing" occurs.
- 2
Room Staging and Protection
We move furniture carefully away from walls using protective pads. Drop cloths are placed along the perimeter to protect flooring from any incidental moisture.
- 3
Clockwise Entry
Starting at the room's entrance, the team moves clockwise. This ensures that every square inch of the ceiling and wall surface is addressed in a logical sequence.
- 4
Ceiling Stain Treatment
Using professional-grade extension mops and pH-neutral solutions, we perform a controlled damp-wipe of the ceiling. We target grease deposits, insect spots, and localized staining.
- 5
Top-Down Wall Wipe
We transition to the walls, starting at the highest point and working downward. This ensures any moisture follows gravity onto uncleaned areas, preventing "clean streaks" on already finished sections.
- 6
High-Touch Degreasing
We pay special attention to areas around light switches, door frames, and kitchen zones where oils and fingerprints accumulate. These areas receive a targeted application of a safe degreasing agent.
- 7
Surgical Detailing
The second technician follows with a dry microfiber buffing tool. This step is critical; it removes any lingering moisture and prevents the formation of water spots or streaks, leaving a uniform finish.
- 8
Final Quality Audit
The team lead uses angled lighting to inspect the walls for any remaining marks or unevenness. Once cleared, we capture photos for the client report and return the room to its original configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
We can wash surfaces with eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss finishes. Flat or matte paints are generally not moisture-tolerant and may "burnish" or change color if wet-cleaned. For those surfaces, we recommend our Dry Wall/Ceiling Care service.
Yes. Our team will carefully move lightweight furniture away from the walls using protective pads. For exceptionally large or heavy items (like full bookshelves or pianos), we will clean as much of the wall as is safely accessible.
While our solutions are professional-grade and effective on most household stains and grease, some inks and markers are "permanent" and may have dyed the paint. In those cases, we will lighten the mark as much as safely possible without damaging the wall.
Yes, as part of our systematic top-down approach, we wipe the exterior faces of the HVAC vents located on the walls or ceilings within the room.
The wet protocol is a restorative procedure used for non-porous or semi-gloss finished walls and ceilings that have accumulated scuffs, biological stains, or persistent airborne residues that a dry HEPA-vacuum pass cannot extract.
This Add-on assumes the surfaces are already free of loose, abrasive particulates (either via a previous dry-clean or because the environment is dust-free). Performing a wet-wipe on a dust-heavy wall without vacuuming first creates "mudding," which can permanently streak and damage the paint.
No. Flat/matte paint and unsealed drywall are highly porous and will absorb moisture, leading to water spots, bubbling, or peeling. The Wet Care protocol is strictly restricted to washable, non-porous finishes such as semi-gloss, satin, or high-gloss enamels.
For safety and to prevent liquid runoff onto lower structural elements, our technicians only service surfaces up to 10 feet using standard ladders and extension tools. High architectural features exceeding 10 feet are excluded.
Technicians utilize a "controlled moisture" manual wipe. We do not spray liquids directly onto the walls or ceilings. Instead, agents are applied to microfiber cloths, and barrier towels are placed at the base of the walls to capture any potential vertical runoff.
