Clean Woodgrain Paneling Walls

Wood-grain paneling is often manufactured with a light, protective finish.

Wood-grain paneling appears in homes and business throughout the world. Most of this type of paneling is treated with a finish that resists light moisture. If you need to clean your wood-grain paneling beyond light, dry dusting, wet cleaning is permissible within certain limits. With a thorough cleaning, the paneling can be restored to a gleaming finish that accentuates its wood-grain appearance.

Instructions

1. Dust the wood-grain paneling with a dry dust cloth or clean with the brush attachment on your vacuum.

2. Fill two medium-size bowls halfway with water. Pour 1/2 tsp. of mild liquid dish soap in one bowl and stir with a spoon to create bubbles.

3. Dip a nonabrasive sponge in the soapy water and squeeze gently to remove excess liquid. Wipe the dirty or stained areas of the wood grain paneling with the soapy sponge.

4. Wipe the cleaned area of the paneling with a clean sponge dampened in water. Dry wet areas promptly with a soft, lint-free towel.
