Remove paint splatters quickly if they spread to the ceiling.
The standard protocol for painting a room suggests painting from the top down to the bottom, meaning that you should paint the ceiling first. After painting the ceiling, move on to the walls to apply the interior paint color of your choice. If you encounter painting mistakes as you work, you may need to get rid of the wall paint on the ceiling. Catch your mistakes quickly before the paint dries for best results.
Instructions
1. Saturate the sponge with water, and squeeze out the excess moisture. Squirt 2 drops of dishwashing detergent onto the sponge, and squeeze the sponge gently to activate the bubbles.
2. Place the prepared sponge and the dry cloth near you as you apply the paint to the wall. Watch your painting progress as you brush or roll paint onto the wall, especially in areas where you can inadvertently splatter or spread paint onto adjacent surfaces, such as the ceiling or other walls.
3. Wipe off wet paint from the ceiling with the sponge as quickly as possible when you notice messes. Rub the sponge lightly over the ceiling to wipe away the wet paint, continuing to rub until you remove it entirely.
4. Wipe the wet area with the dry cloth to finish removing the paint.
