  • Anyone ever use APC+ to clean painted walls?

    I'm thinking about trying APC+ at 128 or 64:1 to wipe down our stairway to get rid of kid prints. Paint is Dutch Boy Kids' Room Paint which is supposed to be scrubbable and washable. Anyone ever try it?

    After a test spot of 7:1 ratio, I used APC+ and Super Degreaser on our painted cabinet doors and stove enclosure they were pretty nasty and had no ill effects. The damage you could inflict is if you use a scratchy scrubby gizmo trying to get the grime off. I sprayed and let the cleaners do the work and not scrub the paint off.

      I use APC diluted for light duty on mine with no problems. Even Magic Erasers work fine. Suppose it would depend how good the paint is???

        I've tried it on painted walls with great success. I use APC+ for EVERYTHING inside and outside the house. It's the best cleaner ever!

          Would that include Simple Green??

            I use APC+ for house cleaning all the time. This stuff cuts through nasty gunk and grease better than any dedicated house product I have tried yet.

            In fact, I turned our cleaning service onto the product as it is more cost effective, and time effective than the other products they were using.

              I like both APC & APC+ to clean certain areas/things. APC will lather up and give you good/more work time than APC+, but APC+ seems to cut through grime/dirt quicker..

                  Good to know. Now if the wife finds out, my chores for me.

                    Well, APC+ is specifically a Meguiar's product, but any APC properly diluted should work well.

                      Re: Anyone ever use APC+ to clean painted walls?

                      Thanks for the input. I did a test spot with APC+ at 128:1 using a Sam's microfiber and it seemed to work just fine. I'll double-check it tomorrow when I can look at it in the sunlight. On another note, I was doing some painting and tried some non-TSP cleaner and it worked wonders as a paint prep but it's a bit too harsh for daily use since it removes gloss.

                          Now you know how to get a cheap cleaner for the walls! At that ratio, it should last some time!
